Hi, Thank you for reply. Yes, System Administrators box is checked in Server
Roles.

The problem has to do with proper permissions to read the Certificate. The
Domain User running on SQL Server as System Administrator does not seem to
have permissions to read the Certificate from "Personal" folder in
Certificates MMC. It can only read the certificate if I assign the Domain
User to Administrators group.

Microsoft talks about it in:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314636
But I have service pack 3a installed and it still does not work. According
to Microsoft, service pack 2 was supposed to fix this problem. I tried Win
2000 Srv Standard, Win 2003 Srv Standard, and Enterprise. SQL Server 2000
Standard, and Enterprise. It does not work anywhere. What is wrong with
Microsoft! Should I be thinking about Linux??
