I am trying to get all certificates with powershell. When I set "\$computer\My" as store location below script returns user certificates I think.
When I set "\$computer\root" it returns root certificates. How can I get both user and machine certificates?
$computer='localhost';
$ro=[System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]"ReadOnly"
$lm=[System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.StoreLocation]"LocalMachine"
$store=new-object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store("\\$computer\My",$lm)
$store.Open($ro)
$certificates=$store.Certificates

You can access the certificate store using MMC or using CertMgr. msc command. There are certificates stored for CurrentUser, ServiceAccount, and Local Computer. To access the certificate store using PowerShell, you need to access the PSDrive, and Certificates are stored in the drive called Cert as you can see below.
To view certificates for the local deviceSelect Run from the Start menu, and then enter certlm. msc. The Certificate Manager tool for the local device appears. To view your certificates, under Certificates - Local Computer in the left pane, expand the directory for the type of certificate you want to view.
As we know that, certificates are stored in Certificate Store. You can access the Certificate Store using Certmgr. msc command in a run window or you can go to Control Panel and search for manage computer certificates.
