How to get installed certificates on a windows machine remotely with Python? -

i wish query remotely windows machines, , certificate store details (installed certificates names, expiry , thumbprints). i'm using python 2.7.

how can done? didn't have luck pywin32 or wmi packages.

sadly, easiest solution spwan powershell process , request data through invoke-command cmdlet:

def run_powershell(scriptblock, cwd=os.getcwd()):     log.debug("running powershell block:\r\n%s", scriptblock)     log.debug("current directory: %s\r\n" % cwd)     psproc = subprocess.popen([r'c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe',                                 '-executionpolicy', 'bypass',                                 '-noprofile',                                 '-c', '-',],                                 cwd=cwd,                                 stdin=subprocess.pipe,                                 stdout=subprocess.pipe,                                 stderr=subprocess.pipe)     stdoutdata, stderrdata = psproc.communicate(scriptblock)      if stdoutdata:         log.debug("script output:\r\n%s" % stdoutdata)     elif not stderrdata:         log.debug("script completed succssfully (no stdout/stderr).")     if stderrdata:         log.error("script error:\r\n%s" % stderrdata)      return stdoutdata, stderrdata   def get_certificates(server_list, location="localmachine", store="my"):     cmd = ''' $sb = { ls cert:\%s\%s | select subject,thumbprint } $servers = '%s' | convertfrom-json  invoke-command -computername $servers -scriptblock $sb -authentication negotiate | convertto-json -depth 999     ''' % (location, store, json.dumps(server_list))     stdoutdata, stderrdata = run_powershell(cmd)     return json.loads(stdoutdata)
