The extraneous spaces are gone too - one less thing to worry about when scripting.
The certutil output seems to have changed since Windows 8, so my old filter to isolate the hash doesn't work anymore. I was unable to find a public download of MDOP or MSDaRT 6.0.I am adding this here only because I didn't see any fully working powershell examples, ready for copy-paste: C:\> powershell "Get-FileHash %systemroot%\system32\csrss.exe" Both versions come with the same tools, though.
Note that MSDaRT 5.0 only works for Windows XP, and MSDaRT 6.0 only on Vista. I’ve never tried it, but I somehow think that it will still work after that period. I am not sure what happens after 30 days. However, anyone can download the 30-day evaluation version of MSDaRT 5.0. It is part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP), which is only available for volume-licensed customers (and for Technet/MSDN subscribers). What’s even worse is that not everyone can buy it.
