KB974571 Breaks USMT 4.0

21 12 2009

A client of mine ran into an issue where USMT began to fail with the following errors in the SMSTS.log file:

Failed to import the client certificate store (0×80092024) OSDSMPClient 
ClientRequestToMP::DoRequest failed (0×80092024). OSDSMPClient 
ExecuteCaptureRequestMP failed (0×80092024). OSDSMPClient 
ExecuteCaptureRequest failed (0×80092024). OSDSMPClient

—————————————————————-

Failed to run the action: Request User State Storage.
The administrative limit for this request was exceeded. (Error: 00002024; Source: Windows) TSManager

I found a couple sites saying KB974571 broke the SMS certificates on the client and uninstalling the patch on the client should resolve your issue.  If you don’t want to uninstall the patch on all machines, here is a workaround:

A workaround would be to logon to your client and follow these steps:

1. On a target agent, run "mmc.exe", click File> Add/Remove Snap-in, click Add,
highlight the Certificates snap-in, and click Add.
2. In the Certificates snap-in dialog box, choose "Computer account", click Next,
and click Finish.
3. Click Close to close the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box, and click OK to
close the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box.
4. Browse to Certificates (Local Computer)> SMS> Certificates. You will have two
certificates in the right pane — SMS Encryption Certificate and SMS Signing
Certificate.
5. Double-click to open one of the certificates, say SMS Encryption Certificate.
6. On the Details tab, click Edit Properties.
7. Edit the Friendly name to make it something like SMS Encryption Certificate1.
8. Click OK to close the two dialog boxes.
9. Double-click to open the certificate again. Edit the Friendly name back to SMS
Encryption Certificate. Click OK to close the two dialog boxes.
10. Repeat the steps 5 – 9 on the other certificate.
