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

    Here's how I Fixed Mine http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000304.htm

    seems more like You just hidden the problem, so now it's logged by capi2 log and not EventViewer

    From another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/8f6a032a-86c2-4f54-a0bb-9ea6e45384d2).

    <quote>If you download the root certificate trust list from http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab, it contains authroot.stl. This is a PKCS#7 formatted file.

    I used OpenSSL to translate this file to ASCII format, and it shows this:

    Certificate:

    Data:

    Version: 3 (0x2)

    Serial Number:

    61:01:b0:75:00:01:00:00:00:0b

    Signature Algorithm: sha1WithRSAEncryption

    Issuer: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=Micr

    osoft Certificate Trust List PCA

    Validity

    Not Before: Apr 11 06:09:39 2009 GMT

    Not After : Jul 11 06:19:39 2010 GMT

    Subject: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, OU=AOC

    , CN=Microsoft Certificate Trust List Publisher

    So the "Microsoft Certificate Trust List Publisher" cert expired on 7/11.

    Only Microsoft can fix this snafu.
