Creates a new task in the Task Scheduler that will be triggered when a certificate is replaced, expired, or about to expired.
New-CertificateNotificationTask [-RunTaskForExistingCertificates [<SwitchParameter>]] -Channel <NotificationChannel> -Name <String> -PSScript
<String> -Type <CertificateNotificationType> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]] [<CommonParameters>]
The New-CertificateNotificationTask cmdlet creates a new task in the Task Scheduler that will be triggered when a certificate is replaced or
expires. The task will launch the script specified by the PSScript parameter.
If RunTaskForExistingCertificates is specified, then after this cmdlet is registered, the cmdlet will go through all certificates (including
archived certificates) in the My store and initiate Replace events for all certificates with a Renewal property. The NewCertHash value will
always be the one at the end of the renewal chain. Example: If certificate A was renewed to certificate B, which was then renewed to
certificate C, then the cmdlet fires two events: certificate A to certificate C and certificate B to certificate C. This will ensure that
applications that are still using old certificates are properly updated to the newest certificates. If any certificate has a renewal chain
longer than 20, then the certificate is not logged.
