Error: "Initialize-ACMEVault : Vault root path contains existing vault data"

[JensKirk]

The 3'th line gives the error:

Import-Module ACMESharp
Import-Module ACMESharp\ACMESHARP-IIS
Initialize-ACMEVault

But everything seems to be working...

How to fix it? :-)

Please share the error details. Just sharing my experience - There may a vault already existing or please check for the permissions (for creating folder - we need to login with admin privileges..) Thanks.

I get the same error. I'm in a brand new directory when I execute.

Initialize-ACMEVault : Vault root path contains existing vault data At C:\scripts\Generate-SSLCertificate.ps1:15 char:1

As per my understanding, unlike the previous version, the newer version of ACMESharp (V0.8.1.0) will create ACMEVault under C:\ProgramData --> ACMESharp\SysVault. We do not need to worry about specifying the location for the vault now. Kindly check once if there is any existing folder under C:\ProgramData. I hope this helps.

That is correct. The vault will be created under ProgramData. If you want your script to run the following snippet will initialize the vault if it does not exist, and otherwise it will continue:

if (!(Get-ACMEVault))
{
    Initialize-ACMEVault
}
