WinCertExpiration.exe cannot find my Certificate

Votes:

0

Hi, I want to monitor the expiration of the Computer Certificate on our NPS Server. I installed the WinCertExpiration.exe Sensor. When I execute it from the command line with the -l parameter it says: 'No certificates found, make sure the Remote Registry service is running on the target computer and check the given credentials' without the '-l' parameter but with '-t=' and the Thumbprint of my Certificate i get: 'No Certificate found.' I checked the Remote Registry and the User is in the Administrators Group of the Remote Computer.

I created a Sensor and let it log the Sensor Output. In the Log theres always a '?' in front of the Thumbprint, where does this come from? Could this be the Problem? I hope anyone can help me. Thank you in advance.

Here is the command line that works. it's kind of tricky. You need to get the thumbprint of the cert with no spaces. You also need to have a username and password for the sensor. 

-h=NAMEOFHOST -t=468e74ffb63b8a490bb98fa51af9bff2c5c08113 -s=My -u=DOMAIN\USERNAME -p=PASSWORD

this is for a cert in the Computer Store. If it's someplace else, you will need to specify that with the -s , look in the readme for the locations. The above command works for our NPS cert for wireless auth.

Hello,

this is not a native PRTG sensor; please contact the creator of that sensor.
