Not sure if this is posted in the correct area. If not, please let me know. We're trying to restore an old certificate on a Windows 2003 server with sp2. The server is currently not connected to the network. After doing the restore of the cert, the CA service will not start and gets an error of: Event ID: 7024 source: service control manager Bad Key 0x80090003 (-2146893821) I've been searching all over the net for similar errors and have not been successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if any other information is necessary in helping me troubleshoot the issue. Thanks...
