#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE -- the revocation function could not check revocation Fix : Give the system account a route to the revocation endpoints Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-cert-revocation Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 20 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX A public certificate on a server behind a proxy or with no outbound access. HOW TO UNDO IT netsh winhttp reset proxy 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.
