Guest Tom Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Hello, I am attempting to setup my own CA for the purpose of issuing server and client certificates for a private website on my Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition server. However, I am unable to install the Certificate Services. The installation fails with "The service is not started 0x80070842 (WIN32: 2114)". In the event log I am presented with two log entries relating to the Certificate services: Event Type: Error Event Source: CertSvc Event Category: None Event ID: 44 Date: 12/4/2007 Time: 2:29:31 PM Description: The "Windows default" Policy Module "Initialize" method returned an error. The handle is invalid. The returned status code is 0x80070006 (6). For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. AND: Event Type: Error Event Source: CertSvc Event Category: None Event ID: 9 Date: 12/4/2007 Time: 2:29:31 PM Description: The Certificate Services did not start: Unable to load an external policy module. If its important I am trying to install a Stand-alone Root CA as I am not using Active Directory. Also I am logged with full administrative privileges. Thanks, Tom For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
