In order to get a list of certificates and their thumbprints, you can use the following PowerShell command:

Get-ChildItem -path cert:\LocalMachine\My

This will list all certificates and thumbprints the My store:

  • Excellent! Very helpful. Thanks!

  • This works in my Windows 8.0 laptop, not in the Windows Server 2008 system I want to use it on. I had hoped to iterate through this for all certificate stores and then find a match for a certificate deployed such that I can see the thumbprint but not the CN, etc, pertaining to the cert (don't ask, it's a weird app...).

    Is there any way to do this in Server 2008?

  • Follow-up comment. The Server 2008 system gets part of the way there. It tells me the following childitems exist from Cert:\Localmachine\ - I just can't seem to get any deeper... Powershell returns only a null result.
