INTRODUCTION
You can use the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 version of the Certutil.exe program on a Microsoft Windows XP or a Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer for maintenance or troubleshooting purposes.



MORE INFORMATION
The version of the Certutil.exe program that is supplied with a Windows XP or a Windows 2000-based computer does not support new options that are supported in the version of the Certutil.exe program that is included in Windows Server 2003. For example, the ?setextension option is not supported. However, you can run the new options on a Windows XP or a Windows 2000-based computer if you manually copy several Windows Server 2003 files to a new folder on the Windows XP or the Windows 2000-based computer. You must then run the Windows Server 2003 files at a command prompt in the new folder on the Windows XP or the Windows 2000-based computer. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Create a new folder on the Windows XP or the Windows 2000-based computer.
 * 2) Copy the Certutil.exe, Certadm.dll, and Certcli.dll files from the C:\Windows folder of a Windows Server 2003-based computer to the new folder that you created on the Windows XP or the Windows 2000-based computer.

Warning Do not replace the original files on the Windows XP or the Windows 2000-based computer. Do not register the .dll files that you copy from the Windows Server 2003-based computer.
 * 1) Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
 * 2) Locate the folder that you just created, type certutil.exe, and then press ENTER.
