SYMPTOMS
If you use Windows 2000 and Certificate Server (which is included with Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0), publishing certificates to Active Directory may not work if the domain controller to which Certificate Server is bound is restarted.



CAUSE
Certificate Server follows a typical process of discovering and binding to the closest domain controller by using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). If the domain controller is restarted, Certificate Server does not bind again to that domain controller when it comes back online. Stopping and restarting the Certificate service causes that service to bind again to the domain controller, and publishing succeeds.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
