Emulating DOS Syntax "|" in certutil

[Syekick]

try this

Run(@Comspec & ' /k certutil -restorekey -f -p "" c:\' & '|' & @UserName & '.pfx', 'c:\')

That is IT !! You rock!

Thank you, everyone, for your help and support. It get's tiresome moving " or / around trying to get syntax right all alone!

I think that the , C:\ that was added by Blademonkey gave the tempdir?

No prob, partial (if not most) of the cred should go to Danny35d since he suggested messing with the working directory option. I just noticed that your working directory was actually c:\ so i suggested you explicitly declare it.

what does this mean to certutil? I think it means that you actually have a @username.pfx located on C:\ or at least there's some kind of depency to C:\ that certutil has (and I'm not sure if it's because you're specifying C: in the dos command).

you'll just have to mess around with it and email MS to update that sh!tty documentation.

i'm so glad we resoved it, i was getting annoyed there.

certutil-restorekey[-f] [-gmt] [-seconds] [-v] [-configCAMachineName\CAName] [-pPassword] BackupDirectory|PFXFile

well... and it never came to mind that the '|' could just be an "OR" ??

And it's all there. Just one sentence below the one you posted.

"Restores Certificate Services certificate and private key from the specified BackupDirectory or PKCS #12PFXFile"
