Event ID 29 on Windows Server 2008 after upgrade from 2003
Hello. I recently upgraded my PDC from 2003R2 to 2008 standard. I am getting an event ID 29 error saying "The Key Distribution Center (KDC) can not find a suitable certificate to use for smart card logons, or the KDC certificate could not be verified..." I ran certutil -dcinfo verify and there are no certficiates on my PDC. If we do not use Smart Card Logons in my environment, should I be concerned about this error message or can it be safely ignored?

Hi, This is by designed behavior and you can safely ignore the event. For more information, please refer to the following KB article: You receive a Key Distribution Center "Event ID: 29" event message on a Windows Server 2008-based domain controller http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967623 Thanks.
