win-acme is an ACMEv2 client for Windows that automates obtaining and installing SSL/TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt, ZeroSSL, and other ACME-compatible certificate authorities. It offers a simple interactive interface for IIS as well as advanced command-line and plugin-based automation for scenarios like Exchange, Apache, and DNS validation.
Use cases
- automatically obtain and renew Let's Encrypt certificates on Windows
- install SSL certificates on IIS with automatic binding updates
- get wildcard certificates using DNS validation with Cloudflare or Route53
- unattended certificate automation via scheduled tasks and command line
- manage certificates for Exchange Server or Remote Desktop Services
- store certificates as .pem, .pfx, in the IIS Central Store, or Azure KeyVault
When to choose
- you run IIS, Exchange, or other Windows servers and need automated TLS certificate lifecycle management
- you want a free, unattended ACME client with rich validation and storage plugins
- you need wildcard or internationalized domain certificates on Windows
When to avoid
- you need certificates on Linux or macOS (use certbot or similar instead)
- you want a GUI-only experience without any command-line interaction
- your infrastructure is not Windows-based or not reachable from a Windows host
