Common Certificate for all Profiles on a Terminal Server

Hello,

We use a website to access information hosted by a local County office. The
website issues certificates via a Microsoft Certificate Server (anyone can
install the web cert). However, the certificate is stored in the users
profile, so in a multi-user environment the certificate must be installed for
each user. Is there a way to install this cert for all users on a paticular
terminal services server, without having to manually do it by hand?
 
Re: Common Certificate for all Profiles on a Terminal Server

Have you already tried installing the certificate in the computer store
rather than in the user store?

Anubhav,

Thanks for the follow-up.

The web cert installs a Intermediate CA and a Personal Certificate.
If I try to logon to the TS as a different user profile, both the
Intermediate CA and Personal Cert are not available.

If you are the admin of the computer you should able to get to the
certificates snap-in for MMC. You need to add the required certificate to
the "Trusted root certificate authorities" store for it to be available to
all users.
