Solved garlin's PowerShell scripts for updating Secure Boot CA 2023

garlin said:

The verbose mode is triggered by adding "-Verbose" to the end of whatever you used to run the check script in the first place.

Either:
.\Check_UEFI-CA2023.ps1 -Verbose
.\Check-UEFI.bat -Verbose

Both the GitHub and post #1 version of the ZIP file should have the full set of both .ps1 and .bat scripts.

thanks, got it to run on the old laptop, which turns out to be an Acer (not Asus)

The overriding problem is I don't see the KEK CA 2023 applied (which is the most important cert in this migration). Without the KEK CA 2023 in place, having a CA 2023 boot manager is untrusted.

Can you run the check script using -Verbose added to the command line?

need to try on the dell tomorrow (its in a different location) and will report back - thanks for your tools and help

For your Acer, you might want to repeat what you have done before -- but with Secure Boot enabled. Some BIOS'es are reportedly weird and they want Secure Boot enabled if you're playing around with their certs. I don't know if that makes a difference on your model.

First of all, I hope everyone here on the forum is doing well, and I imagine you are all moving forward with the opportunity to update your 2023 certificates.

I want to express my gratitude to this forum, especially to Garlin, Kepler, TheVisitor, and the rest...I have been reading Garlin's thread so I could update my own PCs, and you all have helped me tremendously—especially Garlin's scripts. Thank you, Garlin, for your help to the community. I will keep reading this thread to continue enriching myself with such valuable help.
