Instead of CertCommonName you need to give the filepath path to a certificate file i.e. certutil -verify examplecertificate.cer rather than certutil.exe -verify CertCommonName. The way you have its looking for a file called CertCommonname and cant find it.

  • Additional documentation on this can be found in the CertUtil documentation (docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/…). As the syntax is CertUtil [Options] -verify CertFile [CACertFile [CrossedCACertFile]], the certificate name should indeed be replaced by the filename (or path) of the certificate as answered above.
