Hi, I get this error in the last few weeks and I am not sure, whether I should do something about it. I went to TechNet, Event ID 11 Automatic Root Certificates Update Configuration, but I would need something simpler that I can follow. Confuseduser P.S. Exact error message is below: -

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

ps for some further info

    I followed the method below and it worked for me on an SBS2008 server.  However on the first attempt the server hung at "Applying Computer Settings."  I restarted in Safe Mode, restore everything, then restarted the server again and without issue.  On the second attempt I only deleted the contents in the "Content," folder leaving "MetaData" folder as is and this worked.  I noticed there was one file in the Content folder dated 7/10 (the same day same CAPI2 errors started) with a file size different from the others.  With that I went on the notion I had a corruption issue.  I no longer receive CAPI2 Event 11 errors.

    1. Backup and delete the contents of the following folders:

    C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\ContentC:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData

    2. Backup and delete the certificates listed under "Certificates" key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\Certificates

    Then, restart the server to check the result.

    Regarding: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2328240

    Went there tried to follow instructions but when I got into the cmd prompt and typed the "certutil -urlcache * delete" got a message saying command not recognized. tried several times in different ways with spaces, etc.. but same message. I'm using Windows7 Home Premium  on an HP Pavillion Notebook. Still have CAPI2 event issue among multiple others.....


    Of course, it's just my opinion....I could be wrong!
