Hy,
a user wants to import a cert. in the other people store
but is not able to select the store. I tried to import the
cert.with my admin rights and me too, I cannot select the
other people store. I can import it at my machine so I
guess it is a problem with the system. Is there a way to
restore the certificatestore?
 
Hello Wilfred,

You can use certutil to restore the certificate store:

1. Click "Start", and then click "Run".

2. In the "Open" box, type "cmd" (without the quotation marks) and then
click "OK".

3. Type the following command, "<drive>:\WINNT\system32\certutil
<drive>:\WINNT\system32\certsrv\CertEnroll\<certificatename>.crt"
(without the quotation marks), where <certificatename> is the name of
the certificate that you want to restore.

4. Press ENTER. This command will return a key that is similar to the
following example:

Cert Hash(sha1): ea c7 7d 7e e8 cd 84 9b e8 aa 71 6d f4 b7 e5 09 d9 b6 32
1b

5. Type the following command, including the contents of the hash as a
parameter value: "<drive>:\WINNT\system32\certutil -repairstore my "ea c7 7d
7e e8 cd 84 9b e8 aa 71 6d f4 b7 e5 09 d9 b6 32 1b"" (without the quotation
marks).

6. Verify that the certificate is restored by using the following
command:

<drive>:\certutil -verifykeysThe output that is displayed is similar to the
following example:

Key "CARoot" verifies as the public key for Certificate "CARoot" V0.0 --
Signature test passed
Key "CARoot(1)" verifies as the public key for Certificate "CARoot(1)"
V1.1 -- Signature test passed
Key "CARoot(2)" verifies as the public key for Certificate "CARoot(2)"
V2.2 -- Signature test passed

certutil: -verifykeys command completed successfully.

Thank You.

Diana.
