CERT_E_REVOCATION_FAILURE

CERT_E_REVOCATION_FAILURE means that the selected chain policy could not complete revocation validation for one or more certificates. It does not mean that the certificate was confirmed revoked; it means revocation status could not be established under that policy.

Find the failing revocation step

Record the failing chain element, revocation URL or responder, and the specific lower-level status when the API provides it.
Check access to CRL distribution points or OCSP responders from the machine performing validation, including proxy and firewall rules.
Keep revocation requirements enabled for sensitive production paths unless a documented policy explicitly defines an exception.

Differentiate this from a confirmed revoked result such as CRYPT_E_REVOKED or CERT_E_REVOKED.
