Expire Certificates in personal store
Anyone know what this cert if for and how i could renew it. When I right click renew I get the error no cert template info. Dell AppAssure support is blaming it for causing backups to hang and fail. Windows Server 2008 64Bit. See attached screenshot.
Thanks

It looks like the cert was issued to a CA running on that server (probably a subordinate). I wouldn't delete it.

had no plans to delete. looking to renew.

server is used for file and print sharing only. Nothing else running.
Fine to renew.

craig, did you read my question?
Sure did.
You said that you tried to renew it and it failed, and that Dell blamed it for a backup not working.
That tells me you're looking to delete the cert, based on Dell's info.

Dell is blaming the fact that it's expired for the backups failing. They are not telling me to delete.

I'll say it again. The cert was issued to a subordinate CA.
The cert expired nearly 12 months ago. Has the backup not worked for that long?

Guess I'm not understanding.
Says it was issued to (TLBSERVER5) by (TLBSERVER5) that's the machine with the problem. The only CA on the local network that I'm aware of is the DC. I looked on the DC and could not find this cert as being issued by it. What makes you think it was a subordinate CA? Is it not possible to renew if the subordinate is no longer available?
Backups have been fine until two weeks ago.

Got it.
This server has only been used for file/print sharing since we bought it. I've never added or removed any roles. No clues as to how it could have had the CA role installed. I did convert it from Physical to VM but that was a couple years ago.
I figured as much with Dell. I'm looking for a way to tell them they are full of it.
Thanks for the input.

I found this. It looks like it was from Symantec Backup Exec. Which we no longer use. Guessing it's safe to delete? See attached.

Yes you can delete that cert - it's expired.
