We had a major problem that was a real head scratcher today. Due to Microsoft's 
acceleration of deprecating SHA1 hashed certificates, we updated the 
certificate templates on our domain CA and renewed our master certificate so 
that it would have a SHA256 hash.

We use NPS (network policy server) to supply Radius based authentication for 
wireless clients (EAP-TLS and computer certificates). Almost immediately after 
making the change, all of our wireless clients dropped and would not reconnect.

After several hours of head-scratching and googling, we managed to figure out 
that even though the new root certificate was being pushed to the NPS servers 
(it showed up in the certificates MMC), windows was not using it for 
authentication.

The fix is to run "certutil -enterprise -addstore NTAuth CertFile.cer" (where 
CertFile.cer is an export file of the new root certificate). You also need to 
restart the NPS service.
