  A slight problem with the install-certificationauthority script; OOTB on 2008 R2 Server Core it errors.

  On 2008 R2 Server Core, a value of 2 is returned by Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -Property Version, ProductType.  The script errors if the ProductType doesn't equal 3.

  #region OS and existing CA checking
      # check if script running on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
      $OS = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -Property Version, ProductType
      if ([int][string]$OS.Version[0] -lt 6) {
          Write-Error -Category NotImplemented -ErrorId "NotSupportedException" `
          -ErrorAction Stop -Message "Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 are not supported!"
      } elseif ($OS.ProductType -ne 3) {
          Write-Error -Category NotImplemented -ErrorId "NotSupportedException" `
          -ErrorAction Stop -Message "Client operating systems are not supported!"
      }
  

  A quick change to 2 allowed it to install successfully and it's working just fine.

  You should really post this in the Q&A sextion of the gallery for this script as it does people very little good posted as a comment here.

  Those looking at the scriptin the gallery are likely to read the Q&A but they will not likely look here for issues.
