Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) takes more than 60 seconds to load Group Policy object (GPO)

Article ID: 973072 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You are using a Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008-based computer that is part of a domain that has no Internet access and no cached Certificate Revocation List (CRL).
  • You are using the Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) 3.0 client component.
  • If you are running GPMC.msc, and you select Change Control, it takes a while to load a Group Policy object (GPO) that is managed by AGPM and that depends on the network configuration. For example, it may take 60 seconds or even longer to load the GPO.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Authenticode signature verification process (CRL retrieval) on the AGPM .NET component is for the client-side only.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, create an Mmc.exe.config that has the following value:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <runtime>
            <generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
    </runtime>
</configuration>
Then, add this file to the C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
