PKI Management Console 1.5

Vadim‘s enterprise certificate management PowerPack went 1.5 and got significantly enhanced. The new features include:

Native use of Quest AD Cmdlets (version 1.4.2) – so better performance and the code which is easier to understand.
Additional error handling.
Certification Authorities information includes CA CRL status.
New Active Directory PKI node that contains the most common AD PKI-related containers. You can review container contents and publish/unpublish certificates/CRLs by using new actions.
Now the PowerPack correctly retrieves all available Enterprise OCSP Responders even if they are not running CA service.
For Certificates node now has two subcontainers: Certificates and CRLs. This allows you to browse both — certificates and CRLs in the local certificate store. For CRLs added new basic actions.
Graphical dialog boxes for certificate export and import actions.

And of course it still has the great functionality from previous versions:

Here’s a very quick summary of some of the features his tool has:

Certificate Authorities management:
- CRL Distribution Points (CDP)
- Authority Information Access (AIA) settings
- Review CRLs
- Publish new CRLs
- Change CRL publishing periods including overlap settings
- Revoked Certificates
- Issued Certificates
- Pending requests
- Failed requests
- Issued certificate templates
- Revoke/unrevoke certificates
- Issue or deny pending requests for certificates
- Add/remove certificate templates to issue
- Change CRL/CRT/OCSP URL priorities
Local certificate store management:

- Copy/move certificates between stores
