I actually ran into more problems with the PKI after the installation. Although SCCM detects your Site Server Signing certificate during setup, the process of dragging and dropping the certificate from the current user branch to the local machine branch may (not sure if there are situations where this does not happen) corrupt the private key in the certificate. To fix this, you have to change the template for the Site Server Signing certificate. On the ‘Request Handling’ tab, check ‘Allow private key to be exported’. Then go through the process of requesting the certificate as usual, and don’t drag and drop as I described in my previous post, but export from the current user certificates and import in the local machine certificates. That should fix the Site Server Signing certificate.

I also had a problem with the Web Server certificate, don’t know if it’s related to having a Windows Server 2008 Certificate Authority or not. In the Microsoft walkthrough they tell you to duplicate the normal Web Server template. When I did this, SCCM kept reporting the Management Point giving problems; a test http request would return an error. After a little Googling I found the solution: on the new template (I named it SCCM Web Server) add Client Authentication on the ‘Extensions’ tab. Don’t forget to re-enroll and re-assign the certificate to your website.

I hope that’s all I have to say about this. :)
