Hello Bobby,
I crosspost this to, that's the better place:
microsoft.public.windows.server.security
> We are using smart cards logon in our domain.
>
> Question no. 1: The issued certificates are issued with validity
> period of one year. The problem is, that before their expiration there
> was no warning or notification to the users that the certificate would
> expire. What happened was that without any warning the certificate
> expired and they were suddenly unable to logon. I cannot find where to
> set this kind of notification (I was hoping the system notifies user
> by default about the coming certificate expiration)
>
> Question no. 2: What exactly means certificate renewal (i.e. what is
> it's function)? I had thought it basically takes the certificate and
> issues a new one with the same properties but with a new validity
> period, so for users it extends the validity of the old certificate.
> However, when a user tries to do it, the system tells them, that it
> cannot renew the certificate because it is not yet valid or it
> expired.

> Thanks for all help.
Best regards
