Corrupt Certificate Store?

[BetaTime]

Hi,

 

I have a user who has a strange issue with his Cert store. It only seems to be affecting his "personal" store. When inporting or creating a cert manually the certificate isn't staying in the store. It simply vanishes, not allowing anything to remain.It will

create the key in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\Keys, but the cert is nowhere to be seen. importing certs to other store works fine, it's just Personal.

 

We eventually managed to manually create the cert using the below command (same result for pfx and certs)

 

Certutil –user –importpfx c:\temp\test.pfx

 

This works, but when programs (in this case the user needs to use "Fiddler") try to create a cert, nothing is imported. This behaviour also occurs as another user logged on to the machine. all are local admins.

 

 

I'm not massively confident with Cert Store, is there a quick way to repair or force permissions etc??

 

 

(64bit, Win7 Enterprise)

 

 

Thanks
