Determine if a certificate is installed using CN (via powershell 2.0)?

Question

I have a PS 2.0 script that needs to check if a few certificates are installed. I tried this but it didn't work... ``` if(Test-Path cert:\LocalMachine\My\mycert1.mydomain.com) {Write-Host "cert is installed"} ``` I can do a test-path for the thumbprint, but I want to check if it is installed by the common name...? Any ideas? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

something like this can work for you?

```
[bool](dir cert:\LocalMachine\My\ | ? { $_.subject -like "cn=localho*" })
```
