I don't see any reason the solution above would not work in Vista.  I see the same folder structure and registry entries on Vista. 

If you are not familiar with the registry, here is a very detailed instruction set on how to delete entries:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/136393

Be sure to use the export option before deleting entries in order to back them up.

This does help.

Now that you've pointed this out I've seen the same behaviour in the CAPI2 Event Viewer log file. My Windows 7 clients have been trying to access two URL's at the domain http://crl.microsoft.com/

None of the posts I had seen on this had mentioned the need for this path.

Thanks,

Michael

hi

Here's a basic definition for CRL in general terms. You can search Google using "Certificate Revocation List" and find a lot more information.

it could also be that direct X is looking for some updated drivers

what happens is that your browser is checking for provoked certificates , is perfectly normal and safe , its to keep you safe

have a nice day

    I agree that no solution seems to have been found.  What some of the above posts suggest is to stop the application or utility that is requesting the "authrootstl.cab" file from getting downloaded. This is not practical in some cases. For use, this "authrootstl.cab" file is being requested via lsass.exe which is part of the normal login process.

    I would like to simplify things by asking the following:

    1) Go to http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab and download this CAB file to your local computer.

    1. Open the CAB file and extract the authroot.stl file to your local computer.
    2. Double-click on the STL file. I'm assuming, near the top, you will see the following: "This certificate trust list is not valid. The certificate that signed the list is not valid."

    All the problems seem to be tied to this STL file (Microsoft's certificate trust list) not being valid.

    Can someone (i.e. Microsoft) explain why this is not valid?  Can it be made valid?   Etc.

    Thanks,

    Hi Purdue, further up in the thread, there was a suggestion, that one should inform Microsoft.  Maybe you could do it. The link below is a link to Microsoft.  Maybe somebody (who can cope with all the technical details) could send them the information. Confuseduse

    I'm sorry to add to the list of users with problems and no resolutions, but we're having this problem on two W2k8 x64 servers.

    both servers are in the same domain and they're DCs

    We have another 2008 DC (also runs exchange) and the error is NOT appearing on that server. There's another 2003 DC but that's not getting the error.

    Signing up to this thread as it seems the most in-depth one, although there's been no more posts since August by the looks of things.
