Can't find Published crl files and getting CDP Location Expired
Hi,
We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Environment. Two domain controllers with two sites. One Windows Certificate Server as Enterprise PKI CA.
I have been testing this to do digital signatures with Adobe Acrobat and it was working fine for a while. Adobe could check the Revocation lists successfully. We recently noticed that this stopped working. So, I checked the CA server and I see the following:
CDP Location # 1 - "Expired"
DeltaCRL Location # 1 - "Expired"
OSCP Location # 1 - Error
I tried to manually published a new CRL by right-clicking Revoked Certificates --> All Tasks --> Publish but this didn't clear the problem
I looked for the actual crl files under C:\Windows\System32\certsrv\CertEnroll and I see the expired crl files.... I tried moving them out temporarily and tried to publish them again but there were no new files in there?
So, where are the new published files going? I also right-clicked Revoked Certificates and click on the View CRLs tab. I see two "current" with a Publish Status of "OK"...
Please advise.
Thanks!

Please check your application eventlog. There should be something related.
Also please post the following command output:

Ok I figured it out... when I was using the Step-by-Step Guide it said something about deleting the CDP... so I think that's what happened.

So I just went back and added the following:
Right-clicked CA server name --> Properties --> Extensions
Select extension: CRL Distribution Point (CDP)
Added : C:\Windows\System32\certsrv\CertEnroll\<CAName><CRLNameSuffix><DeltaCRLAllowed>.crl
Checked the following:
Publish CRLs to this location
Publish Delta CRLs to this location.
Rebooted just because.. everything is good now!
