Method 5

Unblock the updated URLs in the firewall or proxy, or disable CRL checking for the Data Access service and the Management Configuration service. 

To download the latest CTLs, use the following updated URLs:

http://ctldl.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/disallowedcertstl.cab

http://ctldl.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab
Open one of the following files in a text editor:

• For the Data Access service: Microsoft.Mom.Sdk.ServiceHost.exe.config

• For the Management Configuration service: Microsoft.Mom.ConfigServiceHost.exe.config (in Service Manager) orcshost.exe.config (in Operations Manager)

To disable CRL checking, add the following line in the <runtime> section:

<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>

The following example shows this tag being added for System Center 2012 Operations Manager in the Cshost.exe.config file.

<runtime>
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.HealthService" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<publisherPolicy apply="no" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="6.0.4900.0" newVersion="7.0.5000.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<publisherPolicy apply="no" />
<probing privatePath="" />
</assemblyBinding>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Mom.Common" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<publisherPolicy apply="no" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="6.0.4900.0" newVersion="7.0.5000.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<publisherPolicy apply="no" />
<probing privatePath="" />
</assemblyBinding>
<gcServer enabled="true"/>
</runtime>

The following example shows the same added tag in the configuration file for System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 (Microsoft.Mom.Sdk.ServiceHost.exe.config):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
<gcServer enabled="true"/>
</runtime>

The two *.config files can be found in the following directories:

• System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2: %ProgramFiles%\System Center Operations Manager 2007

• System Center Service Manager 2010: %ProgramFiles%\System Center Service Manager 2010

• SystemCenter 2012 Operations Manager: %ProgramFiles%\System Center 2012\Operations Manager\Server

• System Center 2012 Service Manager: %ProgramFiles%\System Center 2012\Service Manager
