Error clicking 'Specify Root CA Certificate'

[Matt_B]

Is anyone else getting a problem when trying to add a root CA certificate?

 

When we go to Site Management -> [site Server Name] -> Right Click, Properties -> Site Mode -> Specify Root CA Certificates, we get an error saying :

 

An error occured in ConfigMgr. The ConfigMgr console will continue to function, however you should save your work and restart the console. After restarting the console, verify that your last configurations have been applied.

It seems to happen on both the client and the server, both logged in as admin. It was working before today but I have been changing out certs to debug a problem with OS deployment. I removed the cert that was in there, so it doesn't have one at the moment, and now I can't get back in to re-assign it.

 

Has anyone seen this or does anyone have any ideas?

I've been there too... luckily it was in a test environment...

 

It happens when you selected a wrong type certificate. I couldn't get a solution for the problem myself (didn't had the time), except for a re-installation...

Ok, that's not really what I wanted to hear but thanks for the reply.
