Certificate Installer PowerShell Script
Overview This PowerShell script automates the installation of certificates on user computers based on mappings provided in a CSV file. It simplifies the process of deploying certificates to multiple users in a domain or network environment.
🚀 Features Automated Installation: Install certificates for multiple users without manual intervention. Error Handling: Robust error handling ensures smooth execution and provides detailed logs for troubleshooting. Logging: Log messages with timestamps and severity levels for better visibility and record-keeping. Customizable: Configure paths and settings to suit your environment.
💻 Usage Prepare Certificate Files: Place your certificate files (.cer) in a folder. Ensure each certificate file is named appropriately, corresponding to the username it belongs to.
Create CSV Mapping File: Create a CSV file with two columns: Username and CertificateFilePath. Populate this file with mappings of usernames to their respective certificate file paths.
Example certificates.csv:
Username,CertificateFilePath
user1,C:\Path\To\Certificates\user1.cer
user2,C:\Path\To\Certificates\user2.cer
Download and Customize Script: Download the psCVS.ps1 script from this repository. Customize the script parameters such as $csvFilePath according to your environment.
