Our root CA stays online. I created that string on the View server and it is good to go. Thanks!
I don't really like disabling CRL checking and would like to figure out the cause too but I don't have the time to mess with it. I just need this stuff to work so I can support my users and not have to fettle with the Infrastructure at random and inconvenient times! Post was a lifesaver for me and saved me a call to Vmware, thanks again!
