Hi,
I have a user who I believe has a corrupt machine certificate. He is trying
to connect to our VPN, and he gets an error says no valid certificate found
for connection. I've talked him through opening an MMC with certificate snap
in, and it shows his machine certificate as 'not yet valid or expired'
although the valid from date is 16th March 06 until 16th March 07. He has a
full system backup, including the system state from about a month ago, I
said we could try to restore the certificate from there, however he doesn't
want to do a full restore of the system state, as he's installed a lot of
software, and the registry changes might screw things up. Is there a way of
just restoring the certificate store? Where is this located? Is it the 'COM+
Class' section of system state? Is there a physical location that can be
restored, I always thought there was somewhere in windows\system32?
He doesn't want to have to come into the office, as he lives half way across
the country, and it would be about a 4hr drive.
Cheers
Ben
