Certificate Problem for ISA

We're having a problem with the certificate store on our ISA server. When I
load the certmgr snap in to the mmc I get the following message.

The certificate stores could not be enumerated. The system cannot find the
file specified.

We need to update the once certificate on this server so I was wondering if
there's a way to recreate "the file" that's missing.

Thanks, John
 
Hi John

Is this on Windows 2000 and are you trying to manage certificates by
launching certmgr.msc? If so, Windows 2000 doesn't support this method of
opening Certificate Manager. Instead:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. Type "MMC.EXE" (without the quotation marks) and click OK.

3. Click Console in the new MMC you created, and then click Add/Remove
Snap-in.

4. In the new window, click Add.

5. Highlight the Certificates snap-in, and then click Add.

6. Choose the Computer, User, or Service Account, options depending on the
certificates you want to view or manage, and click Next.

7. Click OK. (If you choose Computer you will be provided with an option to
open Local Computer or browse for a computer on the network)

8. Click Close, and then click OK.

9. You have now added the Certificates snap-in, which will allow you to work
with any certificates in your chosen certificate store. You may want to save
this MMC for later use.

Note: Windows XP does support opening Certificate Manager launching
certmgr.msc from the run line.

Hi John

If you're going to use SFC, please keep the following article in mind:

Thanks Mark.

That's exactly what I was doing wrong.
