I need to implement a service that does not start because the certificate cannot be validated. This certificate have a root ca that was recently created, so my windows 7 machines does not trust in this ca. My machines does not have internet access and can't download from windows update the list of trusted root certificates (CTL)

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265983.aspx

In this technet article say that this CTL can be downloaded from Microsoft download center but I have searched and I just found a KB of 2013 that contains the CTL.

My question is ¿where I can find the latest version of this list of trusted certificated?

Note: I cant add a certificate manually or via script

I need to detect if an application is already installed in sccm. i have searched that i can use a custom script that does de test and returns the status of the installation depending on the exit-code of the script.

I have and .exe that does this validation, I have created this powershell script that executes de .exe and returns true or false.

$program = ".\teststatus.exe"

$programArgs = "/output" , "console", "STATUS"
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock { & $program $programArgs }
$LASTEXITCODE

if ($LASTEXITCODE -eq "0")
{
     $true
}
else
{
   $false
}

!!this .exe is included on the files of the application!!

¿My question is what path I must set in the variable $program that contain the location of the .exe in other to execute it?

The recipients are anything you can send mail (eg mailbox, group, resource, contact etc ...)

The mailbox is the conbinacion of a user directory and a reserved space in a database where information as exchage (email calendar, history, attachments etc ...) are saved.

My question is when I modify add-recipientPermisions to send as;

And when I use add-mailboxPermisions

¿I am modifying the permissions of the area reserved in the database that stores emails?
