Hi there,
I am running a number of windows 2003 sp1 web servers. I am running
low on disk space on the system disc on one of them. Down to about
195 mb
today from 250mb yesterday.
After exploring the different folders i have come across a rather
large
folder that is 1 gb in size and contains over 300,000 files. The
folder is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto
\rsa\machine keys
Does anyone know what this folder contains or why it is so big. On
another similar server the same folder is only 116k and contains 29
files.
I am running IIS with a large number of sites and some of them have
SSL
certificates attached to them.
I have tried to compress this system folder but it didn't make any
sense.
I was having a problem with the time being out of sync from the domain
controller but i have resynced the time but I still have the huge
folder. I thought if the time difference was causing some security
issues across the network.
Do you think it is some kind of public/private machine key problem.
I have run SSLdiag on the server as we have a few sites on there with
SSL certificates. I have noticed that for each of the sites I have
spotted this error/warning:
#Could not impersonate server account
When i double click on the above error message SSLdiag carries out
more tests and returns the following error message:
Verifying server certificate, it might take a while...
#WARNING:Error 0x800b0109 : A certificate chain processed, but
terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust
provider
#WARNING:Error 0x80092013
This folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\rsa\machine keys is now 1.1gb!
Anyone any ideas on how work out what is causing the above folder to
swell in size. I have also tried to archive some of the older files
but windows wont let me delete them.
Thanks, any help much appreciated
