Issue 2: When running Server Administrator, crypt32.dll errors may be written to the operating system
Application Event log. This issue occurs due to the "Update Root Certificates" component, which is installed
by default as part of Windows Server 2003 installation. For more information on this component and
reasons for errors, see the following articles on the Microsoft website:
• http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/security/ws03
mngd/04_s3cer.mspx"
• "http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317541"
There are two options to avoid these errors from being written to the Event log:
• Uninstall the "Update Root certificates" component as described in the first knowledge base article
mentioned above.
NOTE: This procedure may affect other programs as discussed in the article.
• Install the Server Administrator certificate as a trusted certificate.
NOTE: This procedure may still prompt you to accept the certificate when you log in to Server
Administrator, but will prevent the crypt32 errors from being logged to the Event log.

Issue 2: DF103661: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 - Alert Action -> Execute Application
For security reasons, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is configured to not allow interactive services. When
a service is installed as an interactive service on Microsoft Windows Server 2008, the operating system logs
an error message in the Windows System log about the service being marked as an interactive service.
When you use Server Administrator to configure Alert Actions for an event, you can specify the action to
"execute an application". For interactive applications to be executed properly for an Alert Action, the DSM
Server Administrator Data Manager Service must be configured as an interactive service. Examples of
