Access Certificate Store from LocalService Account

Question

Is there any way to access and view the certificate store of the LocalService account?

I would like to add and delete certificates. (Using Windows Server 2008 R2)

I tried:

runas /user:"NT AUTHORITY\LocalService" mmc.exe

Also:

schtasks /create /sc once /st 09:36 /f /tr mmc.exe /tn taskname /ru LOCALSERVICE
schtasks /run /TN "taskname"

Without luck :(

Someone here suggested using PsExec for running commands with a service account.

Run psexec as administrator:

psexec -i -u "nt authority\local service" cmd.exe

In the new command window run:

certmgr.msc

I do not know if this will solve you problem, it is just a suggestion...

psexec needs to be installed. Is there any way to do without installing third-party programs? – Cobaia Oct 10 '13 at 11:50
I do not know any other than the ones you mentioned – molholm Oct 11 '13 at 12:42

For anyone coming across this after 2013, psexec is a Microsoft tool and can be downloaded from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ – Barracoder Dec 03 '19 at 13:59
