I need a way to import a private key pair from a PFX file from either a
script, or from a command line. Anybody have any suggestions.

Hi

You can use the command line utility certmgr.exe for this, a
cryptoAPI/Authenticode tool from MS.

To add a certificate to the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
in localMachine:

certmgr.exe -add -c "<cert-file>" -s -r localMachine root

where <cert-file> is the path to the certificate file.


Current users personal certificate store command line:

Download certmgr.exe from:

Authenticode for Internet Explorer 5.0
