Local system account fails to download CRL

Hi All,

All of a sudden my server stopped downloading the CRLs for Veeam (Cloud Repository) using the local System Account.

To confirm this, I've opened a Chrome browser as a Local System account and tried to access the CRL URLs and the download fails.

I've done so much basic troubleshooting like checking proxy settings, GP settings etc etc.

Need your assistance to fix this.

Regards,

LMG

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    To further troubleshoot this issue, please kindly try below steps:

    1.Open CMD window and run below commmand to check the network connectivity between your host server and the destination server.

    nslookup CRL URL IP Address

    ping CRL URL IP Address

    2.Check if the network connection is blocked by the firewall, you can temporarily disable all firewall or antivirus to test.

    3.Open PowerShell window and run below command to download the CRL and check if it succeeds.

    Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "<CRL URL>" -UseBasicParsing
