CERTSRV_E_KEY_ARCHIVAL_NOT_CONFIGURED

CERTSRV_E_KEY_ARCHIVAL_NOT_CONFIGURED The request or template requires private-key archival, but the Certification Authority has no valid key-archival configuration to accept archived keys.

What to check

  • Confirm that a valid Key Recovery Agent certificate is configured on the issuing CA and that the archival certificate is still usable.
  • Check that the template is intentionally configured to archive the subject’s encryption private key.
  • Avoid turning on key archival casually: it must be paired with protected recovery-agent keys, access controls, and a documented recovery process.
