Hi all, recently I installed a new win2k ad forest. I also
installed a certificate server on one server to distribute
certificate for différent services, Web, IP/SEC, file
encription, etc..
I came accross a weird bug with the web page. When I try
to sign in for a certificate the machine with IE explorer
6.0 (last patch installed and everything) only the machine
with sp2 can finish the certificate request just fine. All
machine (win2k) with sp3 can't get a certificate this way.
All of the machine I tried so far all do the same thing, I
get the message "downloading Activex control..." and
nothing else, no matter how long you wait. I have been
able to test with IE 5.01 sp2 and win2k sp3 and the same
things happened. I did the same test on machines before
sp3 and after and all of them displayed the same behavior.
The certificate server was sp2 at first then sp3 and
nothing changed this way. So did anybody ever encountered
the same bug and if yes how did you solved it.
By the way I did check Technet, MS Knowledge base and I
haven't found anything so far. The only thing close enough
refered to win95 ou 98 with IE 4.01 so it certainly
doesn't apply here.

Thanks in avanced for your help
