WU_E_METADATA_TIMESTAMP_TOKEN_UNTRUSTED

WU_E_METADATA_TIMESTAMP_TOKEN_UNTRUSTED means the timestamp token signer cannot be chained to a trusted certificate authority on the client. The metadata signature cannot be accepted on the strength of an untrusted timestamp authority.

What to verify

  • Inspect the complete certificate chain and the intended trust anchor, not only the leaf certificate.
  • For an internal update-publishing setup, distribute the required CA and publisher certificates using the approved enterprise process.
  • Avoid adding certificates to Trusted Root or Trusted Publishers unless they are the exact certificates expected for the managed update source.
