PowerShell to Remove IIS Certificates
We were using this PowerShell syntax on a Windows Server Core where IIS Manager (inetmgr.exe) is not available. Nonetheless this is handy syntax for any Window server where you might be upgrading from an older version of the LetsEncrypt client to WACS.
Get-ChildItem IIS:SSLBindings
$cert = Get-ChildItem cert:\localmachine\WebHosting
Write-Host $cert
If you have 1 certificate, you will see the Subject, Issuer, Serial Number, Not Before, Not After and Thumbprint properties.
Or just type
$cert
and PowerShell outputs a little table with Thumbprint and Subject.
Note that some people may need to look in other corners for their certificates such as
$cert = Get-ChildItem cert:\localmachine\My
Once you are confident that $cert contains certificates to be DELETED, you can then iterate thru all and make them disappear.
