CAUSE

This issue occurs when the September 2006 release of the Microsoft root certificates update is not successfully installed on the Windows 2000-based SMS client computer. The Microsoft root certificates update that released in September 2006 was not distributed by ITMU. This is because the Microsoft root certificates update was not released as a security update, an update rollup, or a service pack.

MORE INFORMATION

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

To determine whether the Microsoft root certificates update is already installed on a Windows 2000-based computer, follow these steps:
  1. Log on to the Windows 2000-based computer by using an account that has administrative permissions.
  2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{EF289A85-8E57-408d-BE47-73B55609861A
  4. Make sure that the following subkeys are configured as follows:
    • The value of the Version subkey set to 9.0.2195.0.
    • The value of the IsInstalled subkey is set to 1.
    If these subkeys do not have these values, you must install the Microsoft root certificates update.
