pvk2pfx.exe -pvk IPMRootCert.pvk -spc IPMRootCert.cer -pfxIPMRootCert.pfx

#2. Project Cert
makecert.exe -iv IPMRootCert.pvk -ic IPMRootCert.cer -n "CN=cissipm.ed.gov" -pe -sv cissipm.ed.gov.pvk -a sha1 -len 2048 -b 01/21/2010 -e 01/21/2050 -sky exchange cissipm.ed.gov.cer -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1
pvk2pfx.exe -pvk cissipm.ed.gov.pvk -spc cissipm.ed.gov.cer -pfx cissipm.ed.gov.pfx
