ADCS Notification bug in Server manager

Hi, i'm coming here for some help on the server manager.

 

Has anyone ever had a persistent notification problem on the server manager after a role deployment despite the correct configuration of the role in question?

And did you find a solution to remove the notification?

 

On my side, I have a problem with an ADCS that has been installed, configured, ... But a notification asks us to configure the role, and it is already configured.

We've set up : 

  • Certification Authority
  • Certification Enrollment Policy Web Service

    I tried to edit a registry key : 
 Set-ItemProperty `
–Path registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ServerManager\Roles\16 `
–Name ConfigurationState `
–Value 2

But nothing happened, same with a reboot.

I find that we could uninstall and reinstall the role but that's not really a solution because the ADCS is actually in production.

 

Does anyone have any idea ?

    Kaezan hello,

    I have faced the similar issue but with NDES role installation.
    I have made my research and found out that all ADCS roles installation status is saved in registry here:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ADCS\

    There is a separate key for all installed roles. For CA role it looks as


    And in my case for NDES role it was like this:

     

    So, changing ConfigurationStatus value to 2, has fixed the problem. 


    Regards,
    Alex.
