windows2003 sp2- ca error: keyset does not exists

[AnuSumesh]

Hi All,

I have installed Local CA (Microsoft) . At the time of installation, it was working fine.
Suddenly after 1 week, CA service is stopped and when tried to start the service it displays the error : "KeySet does not Exists 0x80090016(-2146893802)".

I checked the Event Viewer also. In Event Viewer Error is as follows:

Source :certsvc Event Id :100
Explanation : Certificate service did not start: could not load or verify the current CA certificate. <CA Name> Keyset does not exists 0x80090016(-2146893802).

Currently I have reinstalled the CA and now it is working fine again.

Can anyone help me in this regard? what can be the reason? I have not done any changes.

Regards,
Anu
