DNS_ERROR_KSP_NOT_ACCESSIBLE

DNS_ERROR_KSP_NOT_ACCESSIBLE means Windows DNS Server could not open the CNG Key Storage Provider that contains or serves the DNSSEC signing key.

What to check

  • Verify that the provider is installed, enabled, and reachable from the DNS Server host.
  • For HSM-backed providers, confirm service availability, device connectivity, and access permissions for the DNS service context.
  • Check whether the issue began after a reboot, provider update, certificate/key migration, or server role change.
