Okey... I don't see why though.... but I thougth of one thing... Services
running under the localsystem account are identified on the network as the
computer account. So try adding the certificate to the computer account in
AD and see if it helps. It's a longshot, but it won't hurt to try (you may
have to reboot for the change to take effects)
