Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 PowerShell Cookbook - Fourth Edition

How to do it...

Let's say that we are about to import a certificate to the Exchange server, more specifically the client access services. We can import the file using the Get-Content cmdlet, using syntax similar to the following:

    [byte[]]$data = Get-Content -Path ".\ExportedCert.pfx" `
    -Encoding Byte `
    -ReadCount 0
    
    $password = Get-Credential
    
    Import-ExchangeCertificate -FileData $data -Password $password.Password  

In this example, the file data is first read into a variable called $data. The certificate import is done by using the Import-ExchangeCertificate cmdlet by signing the $data variable as a value to the -FileData parameter.
