You cannot enroll for a certificate that is larger than 4096 bits on an SCEP client in Windows Server 2008Article ID: 956580 - View products that this article applies to. On This PageSYMPTOMSOn a Windows Server 2008-based computer, you implement the
Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) by using the Network Device
Enrollment Service (NDES). However, when you try to enroll for a certificate
that is larger than 4096 bits on an SCEP client, the enrollment fails.
Additionally, you receive an error message that resembles the following error
message: The network device enrollment service cannot
convert encoded portions of the client's http message, or the converted
message is larger than 64K. <Hex error code>. Invalid pointer CAUSEThis issue occurs because the COInternetParseUrl function returns an E_POINTER error code when the supplied buffer
is smaller than the required size. The function should return
an E_FALSE error code. Therefore, the system cannot handle the E_FALSE error
code. Additionally, you receive the error message that is mentioned in Symptoms section. RESOLUTIONHotfix informationA supported hotfix is available from Microsoft.
