#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE -- the revocation function could not check revocation Fix : Republish the CRL and fix the distribution point Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-cert-revocation Run as : Elevated PowerShell on the CA Expect : 30 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX An internal AD CS certificate. The most common cause by far is simply an expired CRL. HOW TO UNDO IT None -- publishing a CRL is additive. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
