Automated SSL Certificate Import (Certutil)

Just a quick script drop.  You can use this script to import SSL certificates.  It will import all the the PFX files in the directory to your COMPUTER\Personal\ Store.  Which is the required store for your SSL Certificates.  It does not import intermediate or CA certificates.  I might add that functionality one day.  Any questions post a comment below:

1. Create a Directory called "SSL" (or something like that)
2. Drop all your PFX files into the SSL folder
3. Create a Batch File "InstallCert.bat" 
4. Run a command prompt as administrator
5. Change Directory to your batch file and run it

Batch File Contents


set CURDIR=%CD%
for /f "usebackq delims=|" %%f in (`dir /b "%CURDIR%" ^| findstr /i pfx`) do certutil.exe -f -p <PFX File Password> -importpfx "%CURDIR%\%%f"
pause

Update-SPSolution Automated Install

Just a quick script drop, I am going to polish this up a bit over the coming weeks.  This script will Update all of the WSP’s in the install folder. It will not add new solutions only update old ones.  How it works:

1. Create the following folder structure (where OutofBand is the name of your release):





2. Drop your wsps you want to release in the install folder
3. Drop your current production wsps in the rollback folder (if you do not have them check this out)
4. Create setup.ps1 in the OutofBand folder with the following code
5. Do not run this from PowerShell ISE, the Get-Location will fail.  This will cause an IISReset


#Release Script for SharePoint 2010 wsps (assumes wsps have already been released)
asnp Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell –erroraction SilentlyContinue


[string]$strDeploymentFiles = Get-Location -PSProvider FileSystem;
[bool]$Rollback = $false;


if ($Rollback)
{$strDeploymentFiles += "\rollback\";}
else
{$strDeploymentFiles += "\install\";}


$strd = dir -Recurse $strDeploymentFiles *.wsp;
foreach($wsp in $strd)
{
    [string]$strWSPName = $wsp  
    Update-SPSolution -Identity $strWSPName -LiteralPath "$strDeploymentFiles$wsp" -Force -GAC
}




6. To deploy your solution files simply run setup.ps1 from SharePoint 2010 Management Shell
7. If you need to roll back update the $Rollback variable to $true

PowerShell - Where is the IntelliSense??

Don't you wish PowerShell had IntelliSense?  If you need to find out what properties or methods an Object has you can create pass the object into the Get-Member cmdlet. and it will output the details

If you need to find out how to work with a string object load a variable with a string.
$test = "Test"
$test | Get-Member

You will get the following output

Name	MemberType	Definition
Clone	Method	System.Object Clone()
CompareTo	Method	int CompareTo(System.Object value), i...
Contains	Method	bool Contains(string value)
CopyTo	Method	System.Void CopyTo(int sourceIndex, c...
EndsWith	Method	bool EndsWith(string value), bool End...

This will of course work with SharePoint objects.

Happy Scripting!!
