Iterate over certificates in windows powershell

Powershell provides access to the certificates on a windows 7 machine in the following way:

  PS C:\Users\z0017fjy> cd cert:
PS cert:\> dir


Location   : CurrentUser
StoreNames : {SmartCardRoot, UserDS, AuthRoot, CA...}

Location   : LocalMachine
StoreNames : {SmartCardRoot, AuthRoot, CA, Trust...}



PS cert:\> cd .\LocalMachine
PS cert:\LocalMachine> dir


Name : SmartCardRoot

Name : AuthRoot

Name : CA

Name : Trust

Name : Disallowed

Name : SMS

Name : My

Name : Root

Name : TrustedPeople

Name : TrustedDevices

Name : Remote Desktop

Name : TrustedPublisher

Name : REQUEST

Now I want to iterate over the cert folder using the following pseudocode:

for each subfolder in cert:
  for each certstore in subfolder:
     for each cert in certstore:
        print cert.information

How would I do that in powershell?

The certificate repository is covered by a PSProvider that lets you treat it somewhat like a file system. There are providers also for the registry, wsman settings, and others.

For your purpose: Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path Cert:\

You can see other available providers with Get-PSProvider. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176857.aspx
