Issues using New-DbaComputerCertificate

[bjendro]

We are experiencing issues when trying to generate and push a certificate from our CA to a server. We get the following errors repeatedly, and nothing we have tried has either changed the result or output.

We are looking for assistance here.

PS H:> New-DbaComputerCertificate -CertificateTemplate "Web Server2" -KeyLength 2048 -CaServer CAcert -EnableException
WARNING: [14:51:59][New-DbaComputerCertificate] Something went wrong

  • CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (server-DB1:String) [], Exception
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : dbatools_New-DbaComputerCertificate

We have noticed when we run the command, it creates the request.inf file in the folder shown, but we never see a csr, specifically the one it shows above that it cannot find. If we create a csr using this same tool, and put it in the above folder before running the command, it just deletes the csr and throws the same error.

seems related to #9318 . Once it's merged and a new release comes out, the bug should be fixed.

Thank you. We downgraded dbatools to the previous version until this is resolved.
