Import-PfxCertificate没有提示？

Question

I have a script which runs Import-PfxCertificate . I want it to be able to run automatically, but I am unable to do this because of this prompt:

Is there a way to automatically answer "Yes" or to not show the prompt at all? The prompt won't show if I add the -Confirm flag, but then I can't get that to automatically answer "Y", so is there any possible way to automatically run Import-PfxCertificate ?

I tried a couple of simple approaches, none of which have worked:

1. Setting $ConfirmPreference to None
2. Trying echo "Y" | Import-PfxCertificate ... echo "Y" | Import-PfxCertificate ...
3. Trying Import-PfxCertificate ... -Confirm:$false

Answer 1

It seems to be related to how the certificate is generated and imported. My script was based off this , which:

• generates the certificate in CurrentUser\\My
• imports the pfx certificate into LocalMachine\\My
• imports the certificate into CurrentUser\\My

If I modify the script to do everything in LocalMachine\\My then I no longer get the prompt (in the OP I thought I was using LocalMachine\\My but turns out I didn't look closely enough and didn't replace CurrentUser\\My in a couple of places).
