Check to see on the CA server if your Delta CRL list has expired. -Greg Olson

Someone else suggested w32tm. Tried that just now; as with net time showed the same time with a delta under one second. Did a w32tm /resync just in case. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] auto-renew cert Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2015 17:32:28 +0000 /snark Because MS still commonly reuses libraries that display misleading information in error messages and event logs just like they always have? The auto renewal problem could be caused by a number of issues, hard to speculate without the error detail.

Also forced an update from the PDCe to be sure. That's why I'm asking. Why is the log showing an event for an error state that does not exist?

According to the event it's because time and/or date are off between the client and the issuing CA. No, they're not. They are within 1 sec. They both update their time from the PDCe. Running "net time" on all three proves there is no issue whatsoever with date or time. I admit I have no clue how to troubleshoot an obviously incorrect event. ________________________________ PG&E is committed to protecting our customers' privacy.
