How can I start certmgr.msc for computer account?



Certificate Manager (CertMgr.msc) is an essential Microsoft Windows tool used by IT administrators to manage the certificates on their networks. It allows them to view, create, and delete certificates, as well as view and modify the certificate stores. CertMgr.msc is especially useful for managing certificates for secure communication between machines and for authenticating users.

To start CertMgr.msc, first open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). To do this, open the Run dialog box (Windows+R) and type mmc and press enter. This will open the MMC window.

Once the MMC window is open, click on File and select Add/Remove Snap-in. This will open a new window. In this window, you will see a list of available snap-ins. Scroll down until you find the Certificates snap-in. Select it and click Add. It will ask you to choose the account for which you want to manage certificates. Select the Computer Account option.

Once you select the Computer Account option, it will ask you to choose the computer for which you want to manage certificates. Select the local computer (or remote computer if you are managing certificates for a remote computer) and click OK. This will add the Certificates snap-in to the MMC window.

Now, in the left pane of the MMC window, you will see the Certificates snap-in. In the right pane, you will see the Certificate Stores. You can view, create, and delete certificates, as well as view and modify the certificate stores. You can also view the certificates in the certificate stores.
