trying to copy a signed xml using get-content and set-content. It works when I get-content from the original file, or a get-content and then set-content created version of the file... but if I try to store the file in the script itself to set-content later, no dice. Why not?

Yes. It’s just text, right? So as long as the process you’re using to copy the contents into the string variable isn’t accidentally adding or removing white space (including line breaks), it should just be a matter of matching the output encoding and line endings. If the source file has Unix line endings, you may need to drop into .NET in order to output your string variable to the file. There’s an example you can use at the end of this file.

Also wanted to plug my cert related modules Posh-ACME and Posh-ACME.Deploy for getting and deploying free certs from Let's Encrypt or other ACME-based cert authorities. Though my modules typically require at least PS 5.1 and .NET 4.7.1.

while it does indeed work well and i did some tests with it in my home env things like https://github.com/rmbolger/Posh-ACME/issues/333 happening don't really help putting trust in the reliability of that unfortunately.
Web cert questions

Setup a KeyVault and Managed Identity, which you can integrate with DigiCert natively. If you'd rather use Let's Encrypt, keyvault-acmebot does work well. Certify and win-acme have KeyVault plugins, just run the software on a VM somewhere and update KeyVault. You can also use Posh-ACME and the Azure Az PowerShell module to roll your own. You could also do it on a Linux/BSD OS with various ACME implementations and the Azure CLI.

Powershell administration of Dynamics365 - SSL certificate
1 project | /r/PowerShell | 5 Mar 2021

Posh-ACME can help with obtaining a free cert from a public CA. I know nothing about Dynamics365 though. So I'll have to defer to others on being able to deploy the cert to it.
