Powershell Import-PfxCertificate prompts for location despite parameters
1
I am trying to import a certificate on a VM.
I am doing the following script:
Start-VM -Name $NewVmName
Copy-VMFile -Name $NewVmName -SourcePath ".certificate.pfx" -DestinationPath "C:certificate.pfx" -CreateFullPath -FileSource Host
$Password = "test" | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
Invoke-Command -VMName $NewVmName -Credential $LocalCredential -ScriptBlock {
Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath "C:certificate.pfx" -CertStoreLocation Cert:LocalMachineMy -Password $Password
}
So the certificate store location is indicated. However, when I run this script, Windows prompts me to know in which store I want to import the certificate:
How come? what do I do wrong? I want the certificate to be imported without any user interactions of course.
Thanks!

Read aboutScriptBlockinGet-Help Invoke-Command -Online: By default, any variables in the command are evaluated on the remote computer. To include local variables in the command, useArgumentList. I can see the$Passwordlocal variable…

Thanks. Unfortunately it does not change the fact that I have the same prompt dialog.
