Installing a Self-Signed Certificate as a Trusted Root CA in Windows Vista

A couple of notes for more advanced users:

(1) You can create a group policy object and import this certificate into "Computer Settings\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Public Key Policies\Trusted Root Certification Authorities". Link the GPO at the domain level to have it apply to all computers in the organization.

(2) You can set up a certification authority on your SBS server, deploy the CA certificate via GPO as described above, and re-sign your web site certificate with the CA. Installing Certificate Services is somewhat complicated, but it can be convenient to centralize (and mostly automate) the process of issuing and revoking certificates.

One of these days, I'll write up a short how-to on CA deployment on Windows SBS 2003 R2.

Best wishes,

Matthew

I have been trying to install a certificate on a Vista Ultimate machine, and have followed all of the above instructions. (I have also checked the registry key has Read permissions.)

I am getting a "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working" error immediately after clicking "Finish" in the "Completing the Certificate Import Wizard" dialog. I am installing as an administrator. Can anyone help?
