Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

' This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Cert")
set cert = CreateObject("Chilkat.Cert")

' The thumbprint can be passed in any encoding, such as hex, base64, etc.
' The 2nd argument indicates the encoding of the 1st argument.
success = cert.LoadByThumbprint("ea5a129c1919a52d238ee28d9f3a8f345b768388","hex")
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

outFile.WriteLine("Found: " & cert.SubjectDN)

outFile.Close
