If the DCOM interface contains both RunAs and LocalService entries, the Certificate Authority service gets confused.

To resolve the problem, use Regedt32 to navigate to both (if they exist):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesAppId\{D99E6E74-FC88-11D0-B498-00A0C90312F3}

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesAppId\{D99E6E73-FC88-11D0-B498-00A0C90312F3}

Delete the RunAs entries.

Make sure the LocalService value name exists and that it is set to CertSvc.
