Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Get-CertificationAuthority -Name Company-CA | Get-ExtensionList

Returns ExtensionList object for specified CA server.

Example 2

PS C:\> Get-CertificationAuthority | Get-ExtensionList

Returns ExtensionList object for all CAs in the forest with separate object per CA.

Example 3

PS C:\> Get-CertificationAuthority -Name Company-CA | Get-ExtensionList | Add-ExtensionList -DisabledExtension "Certificate Template Name" | Set-ExtensionList -RestartCA

This command will add the 'Certificate Template Name' extension to restricted extension list. As the result CA server will not publish this extension in issued certificates. After configuration is changed, the command will restart certificate services to immediately apply changes.

Example 4

PS C:\> Get-CertificationAuthority -Name Company-CA | Get-ExtensionList | Remove-ExtensionList -OfflineExtension "Subject Alternative Name" | Set-ExtensionList -RestartCA

This will remove 'Subject Alternative Name' extension from allowed extensions in request. As the result CA server will ignore this extension in certificate request.
