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

Cross-post from technet.... just trying to get some answers
I have been monitoring this thread and the similar thread here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistasecurity/thread/fdf97ac2-21b7-49af-9fc5-d8b2dc3e8d83?prof=required
I can confirm this has been happening on a brand new install of Server 2008 Standard since June 16th. The install was from original media, then upgraded to SP1. The server is fully patched except for optional updates. It has the Web Server (IIS) role installed, with the .Net 3.0 Features, Remote Server administration Tools feature, and the Windows Porcess Activation Service features.
Since this thread hasn't had any activity, I was just wondering if anyone had found a solution. I agree that it definitely looks like the trust list itself is not valid.
As this is a planned web server that will host SSL sites, I am at a stand-still until this is resolved. I'm not going to put websites on it since I have no idea if the certs will report as valid to clients. I'd love to know which root certs would have an issue, if any.
I did run sfc /scannow at an elevated command line to verify the system protected file. It reported 100% valid.
Just for the heck of it, I reinstalled my MAK license key to make sure there is no licensing typo or something.
The CAPI2 error shows at least 8 times a day, every day. Sometimes more.
Hi all, I am having the same CAPI2 error which started since 27 May 2009.
I am from Singapore and currently using Vista Ultimate SP1. Of course my Windows is activated.
This error in Event Log has been ongoing in my PC too.
It seems to affect w2k8 servers (technical base identical to Vista) but it's probably even worse there - one user reported that the error is logged every minute.
Helo,
I can confirm that on our Exchange Win2008 standard 64bit servers there is the same problem since last days of May 2009 and these events are reported every minute . On our domain controllers we don't have these problems...
