Hi there,

Are you really limited to CERTURIL?

PowerShell can do great things, eg finding the Thumbprint with the CN:

Get-ChildItem -path cert: -Recurse | where { $_.Subject -like "CN=*" } | Select Thumbprint

OR:

See this MS doc:

Get-ChildItem -Path cert:\LocalMachine -DnsName *Fabrikam* | Remove-Item

Description
-----------
This command deletes all certificates that have a DNS name that contains "Fabrikam". It uses the DNSName parameter of the Get-ChildItem cmdlet to get the certificates and the Remove-Item cmdlet to delete them.

Kind regards,

Marc
