UPDATE :

– new HTML template
– added two informations : Root and Subordinate CA CRL expiration dates in the report

Purpose :

This project is a simple script to monitor the certificate expiration. When a certificate is about to expire (1 month), a report is sent by email

Pre-requesite :

  • Public Key Infrastructure PowerShell module (http://pspki.codeplex.com/)
  • Locate your CRL files path and names (the default path used is C:\Windows\System32\certsrv\CertEnroll)

Installation :

  • Connect on your PKI CA server (issuing CA) using RDP
  • Download and install the PKI Powershell module
  • Create the folder : C:\Scripts
  • Create a script filename C:\Scripts\adcs_exp.ps1 with the following source code:
#Get input strings

[string] $computername = "$ENV:COMPUTERNAME",
[string] $reportfile = "$ENV:USERPROFILE\Desktop\acert_certificate_expiration_report.html",
[string] $cert_path = "C:\Windows\System32\certsrv\CertEnroll",
[string] $crl_root_filename = "root.crl",
[string] $crl_sub_filename = "issuing.crl"
)
