Hello All,

We are evaluating installation IBCM Client certificate on system remotely using powershell.

If we run the below command locally on the system. Its working fine.

Get-Certificate -Template "IBCM Client Certificate SHA2" -DnsName "computername.fqdn" -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\My

However, if we run the below command remotely (from another system), we are getting below error.

$CompName = '<remote_computer_name>'

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $CompName -ScriptBlock {Get-Certificate -Template "IBCM Client Certificate SHA2" -DnsName "computername.fqdn" -CertStoreLocation "cert:\LocalMachine\My"}

CertEnroll::CX509Enrollment::InitializeFromTemplateName: The requested certificate template is not supported by this CA. 0x80094800 (-2146875392
CERTSRV_E_UNSUPPORTED_CERT_TYPE)

  • CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Certificate], Exception
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Exception,Microsoft.CertificateServices.Commands.GetCertificateCommand
  • PSComputerName : <remote_computer_name>

Any idea where I am missing?

Or suggest any alternative to achieve the certificate enrollment.

Thanks and reagrds,
Kedar

    Requested template format is incorrect. -Template parameter accepts template common name, not display name. Often (not always), common name is same as display name without spaces.
