Sysadmin Modular Report for SSL Certificates (now with check for key size of 1024 bits)

The SysAdmin Modular Reporting framework provides a consistent, flexible data collection and reporting tool with 'traffic light' style alerts for your environment. Written in Powershell using an easy to follow style, the framework collates any number of user generated plugins (function scripts), into a single report for any Windows system supporting Powershell.

Learn about the framework in the new Quick Start Guide (pdf).

Getting started
  1. Download modules from GitHub links below*
  2. Save to a server with Active Directory Powershell Tools
  3. Customise Global_Variables.ps1 as required (variables apply to all modules)
  4. Customise Module_Variables.ps1 as required (variables apply to this module)
  5. Review the plugins (reorder, remove, update thresholds etc)
  6. Run the report  Get-SAMReport Certificates [Email/OnScreen]
Review the scripts on GitHub
*I encourage you to review and understand any script downloaded from the internet. Also ensure to "unblock" each .ps1 files (Right click | Properties | Unblock), to avoid the [D] Do not run [R] Run once [S] Suspend security prompts.

Overview

SAMReports can provide a very detailed look into the health of your environment. You can view the relevant data that has been gathered and quickly see any Warnings or Alerts based on your thresholds. The overall title of the report will reflect the worst result, so for example if there were 6 sections and only one showed a Warning, the report title will be coloured as a Warning.

The result is a rich report with clear status indicators giving you an instant overview and the details to back it up.

Plugins

The independent plugin system is very flexible and provides an easy way to only report on information that you need. The template style provides a consistent output, but also makes it easy to adapt or add new plugins. The warnings or alerts are based on a failed test or data falling outside of thresholds that you can define.

Each plugin can generate four types of output:
  • Results Text (html formatted)
  • Results Data (html formatted table)
  • Results Status (Alert, Warning, Good colour codes)
  • A File (either saved to the \output folder or included as an email attachment)

About the Certificates Module

UPDATE: The report now includes a check for a key length that is less than 2048 bits. 

The report will list details for all certificates in the relevant stores, for all of your servers. There is even an option to log and remove any expired certificates.

This is a list of the current plugins for the Certificates module, which cover the certificate stores for a typical certificate chain:
  • 00 Module Variables.ps1   (loads AD snap-in, sets server scope, log file location etc)
  • 01 List Personal Certificates.ps1
  • 02 List Intermediate Certificates.ps1
  • 03 List 3rd Party Root Certificates.ps1
  • 04 List Trusted Root Certificates.ps1
There are a number of variables you can customise to change the scope of what is shown in the report, such as:

#Reporting variables
$MaxDays = 1095
$WarnDays = 90
$AlertDays = 30
$WarnKeySize = 2048

#Certificate Store Properties
$StoreLocation = "LocalMachine" #"LocalMachine","CurrentUser"
$StoreName = "My"   #"My","CA","AuthRoot","Root"
$OpenFlag = "ReadWrite"  #"ReadOnly","ReadWrite"

#Purge Variable
$PurgeExpired = $False          #$True or $False
$PurgeDays = -90

This is the core of each script, to show how it collects info from each store and builds it into the main report.

#Create an Array and run query
$ResultsData = @()
foreach ($Server in $Servers) {
    if (Test-Connection -computername $Server -count 1 -quiet){
        $stores = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store("\\$Server\$StoreName",$StoreLocation)
        $stores.Open($OpenFlag)
        $Certificates = $stores.Certificates | Select FriendlyName, serialNumber, Issuer, Subject, PublicKey, @{Label="Expires";Expression={($_.NotAfter)}}, @{Label="Days";Expression={($_.NotAfter - (Get-Date)).Days}}
        
        Add-content -path $Logfile -value "Server: $Server"
        Add-content -path $Logfile -value "Store: $StoreLocation\$StoreName"
        Add-content -path $Logfile -value " "

        foreach ($Certificate in $Certificates) {
            
            #Build Report
            if ($Certificate.Issuer -ne $null -and $Certificate.days -lt $MaxDays){

            If ($PurgeExpired -eq $True){

This is a community driven project if you have any suggestion or module scripts you have created, I would love to include them here - with full mudos to you of course.

See the main SysAdmin Modular Reports page for more details, including working with Scheduled Tasks and downloads for other modules.
