Getting Server SSL Cert Expiration Info

Hello,

I am trying to come up with a solution which will help me gather ssl
certificacte expiration date remotelly. So far the only solution that i
caould come up with is running the following command on remote servers:
certmgr.exe /s -r localmachine my >> \\server\share\exp_date.txt

I tried to run it via wmi but cant seem to get it working. If any one
has a better idea please post it.

here is the wmi code

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject _
("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2:Win32_Process")
errReturn = objWMIService.Create _
("cmd.exe /c certmgr.exe /s -r localmachine my >>
\\server\share\exp_date.txt", Null, Null, intProcessID)

Re: Getting Server SSL Cert Expiration Info

You could use psexec from www.sysinternals.com

Cheers

unfortunattel remote shells are forbidden where i work so the only
thing i can use is wmi :(.

psexec would have done the job perfectly though

Re: Getting Server SSL Cert Expiration Info

How is PSExec any different to what you were doing with WMI? Your WMI script
(as posted) seems to be invoking a remote shell via RPC...

psexec installs a service(then removes it)
