PowerShell Get Certificate Thumbprint with Password PFX File

Question

I'm trying to get the thumbprint of a password protected pfx file using this code:

function Get-CertificateThumbprint {     #      # This will return a certificate thumbprint, null if the file isn't found or throw an exception.     #      param (         [parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string] $CertificatePath,         [parameter(Mandatory = $false)][string] $CertificatePassword     )      try {         if (!(Test-Path $CertificatePath)) {             return $null;         }          if ($CertificatePassword) {             $sSecStrPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $CertificatePassword -Force –AsPlainText         }          $certificateObject = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2         $certificateObject.Import($CertificatePath, $sSecStrPassword);          return $certificateObject.Thumbprint     } catch [Exception] {         #          # Catch accounts already added.         throw $_;     } } 

When I run it, I get this error:

Cannot find an overload for "Import" and the argument count: "2". At C:\temp\test.ps1:36 char:9 +         $certificateObject.Import($CertificatePath, $sSecStrPassword); +         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodException     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodCountCouldNotFindBest 

Can someone please help me sort this out?

Thanks All. :-)

According to this SuperUser response, in PS 3.0 there is Get-PfxCertificate command to do that:

 Get-PfxCertificate -FilePath Certificate.pfx
