certutil -ping fails with 30 seconds timeout - what to do?
- by mark
Dear ladies and sirs.
The certificate store on my Win7 box is constantly hanging. Observe:
C:\1.cmd
C:\certutil -? | findstr /i ping
-ping -- Ping Active Directory Certificate Services Request interface
-pingadmin -- Ping Active Directory Certificate Services Admin interface
C:\set PROMPT=$P($t)$G
C:\(13:04:28.57)certutil -ping
CertUtil: -ping command FAILED: 0x80070002 (WIN32: 2)
CertUtil: The system cannot find the file specified.
C:\(13:04:58.68)certutil -pingadmin
CertUtil: -pingadmin command FAILED: 0x80070002 (WIN32: 2)
CertUtil: The system cannot find the file specified.
C:\(13:05:28.79)set PROMPT=$P$G
C:\
Explanations:
The first command shows you that there are –ping and –pingadmin parameters to certutil
Trying any ping parameter fails with 30 seconds timeout (the current time is seen in the prompt)
This is a serious problem. It screws all the secure communication in my app. If anyone knows how this can be fixed - please share.
Thanks.
P.S.
1.cmd is simply a batch of these commands:
certutil -? | findstr /i ping
set PROMPT=$P($t)$G
certutil -ping
certutil -pingadmin
set PROMPT=$P$G
