Hello-
I'm experiencing a weird issue that I'm hoping someone can shed some light upon.
I have need to export all of the certificates located within the "Trusted Root Authorities" (LocalMachine\AuthRoot) store, into a single file.
I start the certmgr.msc GUI (as Administrator), select the store, "Certificates", and see that there are currently 378 entries.
I change 'focus' to the pane showing the certificate list, and hit ctrl-A to select "all" of them. Choose the "Export" task,
and save them to a .p7b file.
Same issue happens if I select the first cert., scroll to the bottom of the list and hold shift while selecting the last cert ..instead of using ctrl-A.
All that is straight-forward and looks like it works perfectly.
However, when I process the resulting .p7b file- only 214 certs. are exported.
When I look into my (WinXP SP3) registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\Certificates\
all 378 'keys' are present.
I've experienced this issue on both a WinXP SP3 system and a Win7 SP1.
I'm not sure if the problem could be registry corruption (on both systems?!), certmgr.msc itself, or a limitation of the .p7b file format?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts and/or insight into this.
