Certificate Renewal Process

Hello All,

We are planning to renew certificates for our universal forwarders with pre 6.3 version, and all these forwarders are windows servers 2000,2003 & 2008.

We have renew script which is written in powershell, but most of the servers does not have powershell installed/configured.

Is there any batch or cmd file to execute and renew the certificates for forwarders?if so please help me out.

Thanks...

If you want to renew MongoDB certificates on Windows, this is the command you need:

C:\'Program Files'\Splunk\bin\splunk createssl server-cert -d C:\'Program Files'\Splunk\etc\auth -n server **** -c -l 2048

replace by the actual hostname of the server and it's done!
