Script update: Skype for Business Certificates report (SfBCertReport-v0.50)
It’s been a while since the last update of the script, but after getting a few requests and some recommended adjustments, we’ve decided to release a new version of the script that contains the following:
- An option to read the Administrator EDGE Server password from a file, instead of entering it through a prompt window.
- Fixing HTML alignments with missing HTML tags which causes in some reports to align table incorrectly
In order to use the new EDGE password from file option, you need to use the following new parameter: ReadEDGECredsFromFile.
This parameter have to be called in addition to the EdgeCertificates parameter in order for the script to automatically determine if that’s the first time the parameter is called and if it is, there will be a prompt for entering the Administrator password in order to generate an encrypted text file which contain the password which later on can be used for future running or scheduled tasks.
A few examples:
- Retrieving EDGE Certificates information and read the EDGE administrator password from Encrypted file
.\SfBCertReport-v0.50.ps1 -EdgeCertificates -ReadEDGECredsFromFile
- Retrieving environment certificates information
.\SfBCertReport-v0.50.ps1 -FEPool <Name of the FE Pool> -EdgeCertificates -ReadEDGECredsFromFile -OWASCertificates -PSTNGatewayCertificates
The latest version is 0.50 and the script can be downloaded from here: TechNet Gallery

Skype for Business Certificate report gets an update, now supporting PSTN Gateway certificate retrieval
One of the tasks on my to-do list was to adding more features into the Lync/SfB Certificate report script, especially the feature of pulling the PSTN Gateways Certificates information which is always something we tend to forget that exists within Skype for Business / Lync environments.
Well, now, with the help of the amazing and so talented Amanda Debler, I can finally cross that task from my list 
.
Amanda took our script and was able to pull her magic and add the missing piece of code that is required to pull that information.
The script can be downloaded from here: TechNet Gallery
The latest version is 0.48 which includes the PSTN Gateway feature as well as a few minor updates for testing OWAS servers and fixing regional formatting.
Hope you enjoy it, and please let us know if you have any feedback or ideas for improvement…
