Hi,

I have a large number of clients (~50,000) that require removal of a trusted
root CA cert that we added via group policy some time ago.

I have downloaded and installed the Capicom SDK 2.1.0.2 and tested using the
cstore.vbs sample script that comes with it. The script works great and will
form the starting point of a script we can use.

When selecting a CA cert to remove though a warning window appears on screen
asking for the user's confirmation that the cert should be removed. I
beleive that the window is initiated by Windows rather than the script.

Is it possible to suppress this warning window at all in order to acheive a
silent script?

Mike

You can build a batch file using certutil -delstore root "Serial Number"
You would need to reference the serial number of the certificate.
If you ran this from the logon script, this would work really easily]
