Microsoft "certutil -verify" command can be used to verify (validate) certificate saved in a certificate file.

Here are options supported by the "certutil -verify" command:

C:\fyicenter>\windows\system32\certutil -verify -?

Usage:
  CertUtil [Options] -verify CertFile
           [ApplicationPolicyList | - [IssuancePolicyList]]

  CertUtil [Options] -verify CertFile [CACertFile [CrossedCACertFile]]

  CertUtil [Options] -verify CRLFile CACertFile [IssuedCertFile]

  CertUtil [Options] -verify CRLFile CACertFile [DeltaCRLFile]

  Verify certificate, CRL or chain

    CertFile -- Certificate to verify
    ApplicationPolicyList -- optional comma separated list of required
            Application Policy ObjectIds
    IssuancePolicyList -- optional comma separated list of required
            Issuance Policy ObjectIds
    CACertFile -- optional issuing CA certificate to verify against
    CrossedCACertFile -- optional certificate cross-certified by CertFile
    CRLFile -- CRL to verify
    IssuedCertFile -- optional issued certificate covered by CRLFile
    DeltaCRLFile -- optional delta CRL

    If ApplicationPolicyList is specified, chain building is restricted to
            chains valid for the specified Application Policies.
    If IssuancePolicyList is specified, chain building is restricted to chains
            valid for the specified Issuance Policies.
    If CACertFile is specified, fields in CACertFile are verified against
            CertFile or CRLFile.
    If CACertFile is not specified, CertFile is used to build and verify a full
            chain.
    If CACertFile and CrossedCACertFile are both specified, fields in
            CACertFile and CrossedCACertFile are verified against CertFile.
   If IssuedCertFile is specified, fields in IssuedCertFile are verified
            against CRLFile.
    If DeltaCRLFile is specified, fields in DeltaCRLFile are verified against
            CRLFile.
