When you enable the Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update policy on one of the subject operating systems, the Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update does not appear in Rsop.msc (Resultant Set of Policy).
To workaround this behavior, an Administrator can:
1. Open a CMD.EXE window.
2. Type Gpresult /z>"%TEMP%RSopFail.txt" and press Enter.
3. Type notepad "%TEMP%RSopFail.txt" and press Enter.
4. Locate the following:
For Windows Server 2003 with SP1:
GPO: Local Group Policy KeyName: SoftwarepoliciesMicrosoftSystemCertificatesAuthRootDisableRootAutoUpdate Value: 1, 0, 0, 0 State: Enabled
For Windows XP Professional SP2:
GPO: Local Group Policy Setting: SoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftSystemCertificatesAuthRoot State: Enabled
