Microsoft SmbShare reference: Configures an existing client certificate mapping for the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. The syntax and selected example below are adapted from the pinned Windows Server 2025 reference. Module availability, target configuration and delegated permissions determine whether it can run in your environment. Documentation and parameter text: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; formatting adapted by Cmdlet World. No execution testing is claimed.

Set-SmbClientCertificateMapping [-Namespace] <String> [-Flags <Flags>] [-Thumbprint <String>]
 [-StoreName <String>] [-IssuerName <String>] [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
 [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [-AsJob] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Required permissions

Use an account with the target resource permissions documented for Set-SmbClientCertificateMapping. Modifying administrative cmdlets may require elevation or delegated administration. This catalog does not assert that ordinary users can execute the command.

Supported environments

Windows / SmbShare · Windows Server 2025 documentation; feature/module prerequisites apply

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-Flags

Specifies if NamedPipes are enabled for SMB over QUIC. The acceptable values for this parameter are: - None: Remove all flags - AllowNamedPipe: Enable use of named pipes in SMB over QUIC connections for this mapping (off by default, overrides value of the RestrictNamedPipeAccessOverQuic parameter) - DefaultCert: Not used

-IssuerName

Filters the certificate mappings based on the issuer name of the certificate.

-Namespace (required)

Specifies the namespace of the QUIC server. For example, server1.contoso.com. By default, the cmdlet searches in the root\cimv2\Security\MicrosoftTlsCertificateMappingProvider namespace.

-StoreName

Specifies the path to the certificate store for the certificate.

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

-Thumbprint

Specifies the thumbprint value of the certificate.

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet isn't run.

Prerequisites

Windows with the SmbShare module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.

Security considerations

This cmdlet changes system state. Review every target and parameter in the official reference, test outside production, and prepare an appropriate backup or rollback. Do not execute the example automatically.

Examples

Set-SmbClientCertificateMapping -Thumbprint "1234567890abcdef" -IssuerName "CN=NewIssuerName"
