CRYPT32 EVENT ID 11

We have very recently started receiving the following errors on multiple of ouyr Windows 2003 servers.  Has anybody any idea if this is likely to cause any issues.

Failed extract of third-party root list from auto update cab at: <http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab> with error: A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority.

It could be that automatic updates cannot download and install the latest root certificate updates. Perhaps trying the download manually?

Agreed - that is my first assumption as well.  Here is the current root certificate list from MS:

After much digging around I would agree with both comments, the only thing about your reply Paranormastic is that the update you have pointed me too is for Win XP not Server 2003

Still receiving Crypt32 errors on all servers after manually installing the new certificate. Interestingly though, If you look at the cerificate, it states the the certificate "is not valid for the requested usage"?!

One forum states that this was resolved by removing the Root Kit Update from Add/Remove programs but 1. We have over 200 Servers and 2. This is not a solution but a quick fix which or not recommended.

The actual certificate is retrieved OK and every hour this annoying Event 11 is logged on all servers irrespective of their role. The workstations appeared to have been logging this event but stopped randonly across the business. Unfoitunately the servers haven't so any further recommendations would be very much appreciated.
Here's a couple of screen shots of the error

It looks like the certificate is valid, but not signed
Thanks for the update Firebar, any idea how I get a signed one?
