When you install Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, the Certificate Authority service does not start.

  1. Log on as a local administrator.
  2. At a command prompt, type certutil -setreg dbdirectory "C:\windows\system32\certlog", and then press ENTER.


Note In this procedure, "C:\windows\system32\certlog" can be replaced with any valid local path.

  1. At a command prompt, type certutil -setreg DBLogDirectory "C:\windows\system32\certlog", and then press ENTER.
  2. At a command prompt, type certutil -setreg DBSystemDirectory "C:\windows\system32\certlog", and then press ENTER.
