Guest Chris Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I originally posted this to m.p.w.v.general I'm hoping someone out there can help me troubleshoot this weird issue. We recently switched our two developer laptops to Vista Business with SP1, on an Windows Server 2003 Active Directory domain. We're getting ready to roll out some new software to our users and need to 'sign' the binaries. On my Vista laptop I went to http://DomainController/certsrv and got a message about Web Install for certificates needing an update on the server to support Vista and Server 2008 clients. So, on the server I installed KB922706. On my laptop, I went back to http://DomainController/certsrv and started the process of requesting a certificate. I got an error saying I Need to access it over SSL for Vista or Server 2008. So I enabled SSL on the server. I was then able to go to httpS://DomainController/certsrv and request/install a Code Signing certificate on my laptop. Yay. Now for the issue... My boss, who is our head developer, could not go through the process. His Internet Explorer would completely lock up when he got to the point where you tell it they type of certificate you want to request. After trying several things in IE (thinking it was an IE issue) we loaded up the Certificate Management mmc console. We loaded up certificate management for the current user and branched out the "Personal" container. Went to "All Tasks" and "Request New Certificate". The "Certificate Enrollment" window opens, and it hangs with the spinny blue circle when we click "Next"... though we are able to click "Cancel" later. I'm unsure how to proceed in troubleshooting this. I don't see anything obvious in the event log. PLEASE HELP! -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
