I'm trying to import a .cer file to the computer store using certutil.exe on
a standalone machine. Does anyone know the proper sytax for this
 
I don't think you can do that with CERTUTIL.EXE. You have to use the GUI unless you use the
Crptographic Toolkit Utility, CERTMGR.EXE.

certmgr -add -c Certificate.cer -s -r localmachine root

Sorry, I don't have a URL to get the Cryptographic Tool Kit.

I can point you to the right place to ask... microsoft.public.security.crypto

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
