Publishing Certificate Revocation Lists

Windows 2000 Certificate Services publishes periodic certificate revocation lists (CRLs). However, you can also use the Certification Authority console to manually publish a new CRL at any time. For example, you might want to publish a new CRL immediately after revoking certificates.

To publish CRLs manually, right-click the Revoked Certificates container for the CA. Then click All Tasks and Publish . When the Certificate Revocation List dialog box appears, click Yes to replace the old CRL.
