Where are the Security Configuration Tools in .NET Fx 2.0?

  • Article

When I recently installed only the v2.0 .NET redist package, I noticed that the .NET Configuration MMC was MIA and the only tool available was Caspol.  Therefore, after some research I noticed with .NET Fx 2.0 many of the Security tools were moved to the .NET Development SDK v2.0 package.

Therefore, the only tool in .NET v2.0 redist is Caspol and in the SDK you will find the rest of the tools:

  • NET Configuration Snapin
  • CertMgr
  • MakeCert
  • PermCalc
  • PEVerify
  • SN
  • SecUtil
  • SignTool
