Cause: This behavior can occur if the Update Root Certificates component is turned on and the computer cannot connect to the Windows Update server on the Internet. The Update Root Certificates component automatically updates trusted root-certificate authorities from the Microsoft Update server at regular intervals. Resolution: To resolve this behavior, you must connect to the Internet or turn off the Update Root Certificates component.

To turn off the Update Root Certificates component, follow these steps:. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

And if you employ egress filtering, you probably don't have a major need for updated Root Certificates, do you?

As suggested, I imagine a non-connected machine has a very limited need for new root certificates. Sorry but purely from a Lowest user access perspective this seems like a "cop out" what if we just strive to have as locked down a network as possible? The mechanism to manage updates and reduce bandwidth use from internal machines accessing windows update does not fullfill its full function by leaving obvious holes in what it covers.

Case in point my servers cannot connect to windows update but they are allowed onto the internet in general.

I setup WSUS to allow me to update my internal machines through wsus so they do not have to go to windows update ;and yet this problem come up. Why release a certificate update for xp machines since according to the logic used above their in the same environment as the servers.

Would it be that difficult to just release a server update that would fix this? Wednesday, November 18, AM. I think the answer to your question is in understanding the difference in how certificate updates are handled for Windows XP machines as opposed to other operating systems, and why there even is a KB update for Windows XP.

Thursday, November 19, AM. Thanks for the replies I still feel the technical deficientcy that causes MS not to release a patch for server is MS's own doing. As per the notes. In Windows Server , the issuer list cannot be greater than 0x I thought that this update made it possible that User and computer root certificates are updated through WSUS? Is there any other configuration needed on the WSUS server to acchieve this?

I dont what the client computers lets certificates update throught the proxy since it needs another form of authentication. Any suggestions?

Monday, March 15, AM. I am having the same problems: Then you should implement the same solutions presented in this thread. This is not a single update; it's a regularly released update that contains updates for the Root Certificate Store of Windows XP machines. Three such updates have been released in the past year. Windows Server get their updates automatically direct from Microsoft. I'm not really sure what the problem is, though, as noted, if you believe it's the same as the one s presented in this thread, then since this thread has an identified answer, you should implement the solution presented in that answer.

If it's not the same as the one s presented in this thread, then you should start a new thread and properly describe your environment and symptoms and desired results so we can identify what the problem and solution might be for your situation. Monday, March 15, PM. Hi I have read this article and in point we have the same problem.

All workstations point to WSUS for updates, yet after installing a new Anti virus solution the WS's XP sp2 and 3 are all trying to go to windows update external site to request root certicificate updates. A simple question requires a simple answer!! Obviously we do not want all Workstations to access Windows update website. The AV solution is irrelevant to this behavior, and your statement is dichotomous.

If, in fact, you have pending download requests from microsoft. This thread already quite satisfactorily answers that very simple question -- a couple of times now. I'm afraid I'm not grasping which part of the answer you are not understanding. Obviously not. The first step is to confirm that the workstations are, in fact, properly configured to use the WSUS server.

The second step is to establish that the download requests from Microsoft. Lacking confirmation, my inclination here is to believe that these updates are being aqquired via Automatic Updates, and the client is not actually configured to use the WSUS server. One other scenario can also produce this result. If the WSUS server is not configured to maintain a local content store, then all updates would be downloaded direct from Microsoft.

I'll concede one other possibility here, and that could be that the Windows Component "Update Root Certificates" really does update direct from Microsoft, when Internet access is available, and the distribution of the update s was designed to support those XP systems that did not have Internet access and could not otherwise obtain the updates. However, I have a certain amount of skepticism about that scenario, as if that were the case, WSUS would also contain similar packages for Windows Server and later systems, which also implement the same 'feature'.

Perhaps, even, this information is authoritatively described in one of the several links provided in this thread. Admittedly, I have not invested a lot of time studying the content of those links, as I've not had any issues deploying Root Certificate Updates to my Windows XP systems. I would like to add something. From what I can see on my firewall logs and windows update logs. Windows XP clients will get the update via wsus. Even the servers wil look at wsus however since there is no Root certificate update for the servers via WSUS they will not get it from wsus.

Thus they have to get it from windows update directly. And this is where I feel the issue is cropping up. My servers cannot connect to windows update and there is no update on wsus for root certificate updates for servers. So the only way would be via windows update. I hope that states the issue properly. I just need to know how you can make the statement "Since only Windows XP content is delivered via WSUS, I'm more inclined to believe this is to overcome a fundamental flaw in the WinXP feature which has been resolved in Windows Server and later systems.

Tuesday, March 16, AM. Hi Well in our environment we have WSUS for Workstations, but it seems that the clients are trying to go external to get thier Windows Root Certificate updates, thus failing on the proxy. We do not use WSUS for servers so cannot answer that question. This is how XP systems were supposed to behave, but apparently do not. Windows Server systems must have active Internet access to do Root Certificate updates. If they do not have Internet access on port 80 outbound, then you'll need to manually import those certificate updates.

We use WSUS to distribute updates 2. Our clients all use a proxy server for their internet connection. I mention this as many of the people in this thread may face the same configuration. Hope this helps someone else out there!!! Error found in Application Logs under Event Viewer.

Extracted the file and install CTL authroot. Any idea?
