I got the following error. When a user reported they
couldn't logon. I rebooted the server and everything is
fine i haven't seen this error message before. Can any one
advise on why this happened?

thanks

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Schannel
Event Category: None
Event ID: 36872
Date: 05/05/2004
Time: 10:46:26
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER1
Description:
No suitable default server credential exists on this
system. This will
prevent server applications that expect to make use of the
system default
credentials from accepting SSL connections. An example of
such an
application is the directory server. Applications that
manage their own
credentials, such as the internet information server, are
not affected by
this.

Hi Dave,

This event is logged when a server application (for example, Active
Directory) attempts to perform a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection, but
no server certificate is found. Server certificates are either enrolled for
by hand or are automatically generated by the domain's enterprise
Certificate Authority (CA). In domains where no enterprise CA exists, this
is an expected event and you can safely ignore the message.
