Archived certificates are certificates that have expired or have been renewed. In many cases, it is good practice to retain archived certificates instead of deleting them. For example, you would need to keep an archived certificate to verify digital signatures on old documents signed using the key on the now-expired or renewed certificate.

If you have not already created an MMC console that contains Certificates, see Related Topics.
