But how cool is it to have your software signed by @microsoft.com?

Also, check out that NotAfter and NotBefore, so short!
A PowerShell Core terminal displays detailed information about an X.509 certificate, showing fields like NotAfter (8/8/2025), NotBefore (8/5/2025), SerialNumber, Thumbprint, and Issuer. Two red arrows highlight the Issuer as "CN=Microsoft ID Verified CS AOC CA 02" and the Subject as "CN=dbatools, O=dbatools, L=Vienna, S=Virginia, C=US." The background includes a stylized purple-and-cyan avatar graphic in the lower-right corner, suggesting a personalized or themed terminal setup.

Our cert now shows Microsoft ID Verified as the issuer. Identity validation took just 30 minutes vs DigiCert's 2+ months.

Azure Trusted Signing provides instant reputation tied to our verified identity & not to a specific cert like the old way. Should finally solve years of false positives.
A Windows Certificate Manager window shows the "Trusted Publishers" certificate store under "Certificates - Current User." The selected certificate is issued to "dbatools" and issued by "Microsoft ID Verified CS AOC CA 02," with an expiration date of August 8, 2025. Other listed certificates include several issued to "Microsoft Corporation" by "Microsoft Code Signing PCA 2011," mostly for Microsoft Publisher and code signing purposes, with varied expiration dates. The view indicates 10 total certificates in this store.
