Cannot Manage Certificate Services

[Guest jfh777]

Hello,

 

I have an online subordinate CA. I requested a certificate from a new

Citrix web interface server, and found that my CA is misbehaving. It appears

to receive the request and issue a certificate, but it is not really working.

 

On the CA itself, when I launch the management interface, the CA has a

yellow warning sign and says " Warning - This CA is currently offline or

unavailable". When the CA is double-clicked, this message appears: "Cannot

manage certificate services. The network path was not found. 0x80070035

(WIN32: 53)"

 

I read where the file and print sharing option has to be checked in

Networking, under the IP settings. That was already there, and still is.

This is a VMWare VM, and I had a "ghost" NIC from the P2V move, so I deleted

that but it did not help. There were some DCOM errors that I corrected, and

that was no help either.

 

The Certificate service is running - it stops and starts with no errors.

The server is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise with SP2. It receives updates

automatically and is up-to-date. Strangely enough, it even posted a new CRL

yesterday afternoon. So it is sort of functioning, but not the way it needs

to be.

 

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do next to correct this problem? Your

support and suggestions are much appreciated.

 

Regards,

Justin
