Release Notes

Installation guide:
  • Use default installation path to install this module for current user only.
  • To install this module for all users — enable "Install for all users" check-box in installation UI

Note: you MUST uninstall previously installed module versions. Direct upgrade is not yet supported!
Note: at this time PowerShell 3.0 CTP2 is not supported (even though it partially works in CTP2).

Release notes for version 1.0.0:
  • Starting with v1.0, a single unified installer for x86 and x64 platforms will be shipped. No separate installation packages will be provided. As usually, source code is still available.
  • Starting with v1.0, the default installation path is: MyDocs\WindowsPowerShell\Modules (for current user only). The installation wizard allows you to setup the module for all users (by enabling corresponding check-box). In all cases, local administrator permissions are required.
  • updated and corrected help for several commands.
  • changed internal structure for AuthorityInformationAccess and CRLDistributionPoint objects, so they have AIA and CDP, respectively, properties to store corresponding extension URLs. All related commands are update accordingly. Command syntax (Get/Add/Remove/Set-AuthorityInformationAccess/CRLDistributionPoint) is not changed. This change allows you to purge all existing URLs in the extension and configure them from scratch.
  • Changed behavior for Get-CertificationAuthority command, so it returns CA objects upon each object construction (in previous versions, CA objects are returned only when all objects are contructed). Delay to retrieve unaccessible CA is about 20 seconds (inherited from DCOM timeout).
  • Improved service stop behavior for Stop-CertificationAuthority, Restart-CertificationAuthority and other commands that have -RestartCA switch parameter. Now the code waits until service completely stops (in previous versions there was fixed delay).
  • fixed the bug in Revoke-Certificate command that was reported here: http://pspki.codeplex.com/discussions/284007
  • Added Get-CA alias for Get-CertificationAuthority command (to provide less-typing for everyday tasks).
  • Added -EnabledExtension parameter for Add-ExtensionList and Remove-ExtensionList commands. Generally this property is added to address the issue described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283789/
  • minor bug fixing and updated error messages.


New commands:
  • Install-CertificationAuthority.
  • Uninstall-CertificationAuthority.
