Resumen

Recent updates to this article

Date	Update
August 27, 2021	Attached an ePO Endpoint Deployment Kit (EEDK) package that you can use to install the certificates using ePO. Corrected a typo about the root certificates needed to validate the digital signatures. Microsoft distributes these certificates as part of the Microsoft Trusted Root Program.
August 9, 2021	Added DigiCert root and intermediate certificates.

VSE 8.8 Patch fails to install; rollback mechanism also fails

A VSE 8.8 patch upgrade fails to install and the rollback mechanism also fails. This failure leaves a corrupt installation of VSE on the system. It also leaves the McAfee Validation Trust Protection Service in a stopped state, and the VSE OnAccessScanner service disabled.

Errors are recorded in the VSE installation logs (C:\Windows\Temp\McAfeeLogs):

VSE 8.8 Patch management extension upgrade fails (Failed to create AP config)

A VSE 8.8 patch management extension upgrade fails with the following message in the Orion.log file (..\Program Files(x86)\McAfee\ePolicy Orchestrator\Server\Conf\Orion):

BUILD FAILED

CommandException: APPolicyMigrateCommand: Failed to create AP config

A certificate validation error causes the above issue when it creates the APConfig object. The product couldn’t validate the involved DLL certificates. So, it can't create the APConfig object to update the policy.

Motivo

One or more of the following certificates are missing:

Root certificates:
- AAA Certificate Services
- AddTrust External CA Root
- DigiCert Assured ID Root CA
- GlobalSign
- GlobalSign Root CA
- Microsoft Code Verification Root
- USERTrust RSA Certification Authority
- UTN-USERFirst-Object
- Verisign Universal Root Certification Authority
- Verisign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5

Or:

Intermediate Certification Authorities certificates:
- AddTrust External CA Root
- COMODO RSA Code Signing CA
- DigiCert SHA2 Assured ID Timestamping CA
- GlobalSign
- GlobalSign Root CA
- GlobalSign CodeSigning CA - G3
- GlobalSign CodeSigning CA - SHA256 - G3
- McAfee Code Signing CA 2
- McAfee OV SSL CA 2
- USERTrust RSA Certification Authority
- Verisign Class 3 Code Signing 2010 CA

The latest McAfee Enterprise binaries have been signed with updated SHA-1 and SHA-256 certificates. These root certificates are needed to validate the digital signatures. Microsoft distributes these certificates as part of the Microsoft Trusted Root Program.

The reasons for the missing root certificates include, but aren’t limited to:

The administrator removed the certificate from the system.
The system doesn’t have internet connectivity, which is needed to perform a Root AutoUpdate (automatic root update).
The group policy in effect prevents the root certificate update:
- The registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\DisableRootAutoUpdate is set to 1.
- The registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots exist.

Solución

Use the following solutions to resolve the missing certificate issue:

Click to expand the solution you want to view.

Import the certificates that are needed to validate the digital signatures

Import the certificates that are needed to validate the digital signatures. After you install the certificates, the product installs or upgrades successfully.

Install the missing root certificates in the physical Third-Party Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. (AAA Certificate Services, AddTrust External CA Root, DigiCert Assured ID Root CA, GlobalSign, GlobalSign Root CA, Microsoft Code Verification Root, USERTrust RSA Certification Authority, UTN-USERFirst-Object, Verisign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5, and Verisign Universal Root Certification Authority)
Install the missing Intermediate Certification Authorities certificates in the physical Intermediate Certification Authorities store. Add the certificates listed below:
- COMODO RSA Code Signing CA
- DigiCert SHA2 Assured ID Timestamping CA
- GlobalSign, GlobalSign CodeSigning CA - G3, GlobalSign CodeSigning CA - SHA256 - G3, and GlobalSign Root CA
- McAfee Code Signing CA 2, McAfee OV SSL CA 2
- Trust External CA Root
- USERTrust RSA Certification Authority (2028)
- Verisign Class 3 Code Signing 2010 CA)

Option 1: Install the certificates using Active Directory group policy
McAfee Enterprise recommends that you install the certificates using Active Directory group policy for wide deployment. For information about how to deploy registry changes using group policy, see the Microsoft article: Configure a Registry Item.

Deploy the registry change for the Computer policy, not the User policy. For sample instructions, see: KB92948 - How to determine if a system has an updated root certificate.

Option 2: Install the certificates directly on the system
If you have a single system or only a few systems, you can use one of the following files (.bat file or .reg file) to install the certificates directly on the system. Or, you can install the certificates remotely using any appropriate administrative deployment method.

To install the certificates:

Download the file DigiCert_USERFirst_VeriSign_Comodo_GlobalSign_and_USERTrust.bat.txt in the Attachment section of this article. Rename the file to DigiCert_USERFirst_VeriSign_Comodo_GlobalSign_and_USERTrust.bat and run it.

Or:
Download the file DigiCert_USERFirst_VeriSign_Comodo_GlobalSign_and_USERTrust.reg.txt in the Attachment section of this article. Rename the file to DigiCert_USERFirst_VeriSign_Comodo_GlobalSign_and_USERTrust.reg and import it.

Option 3: Install the certificates using ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO)
Use the ePO Endpoint Deployment Kit (EEDK) package DIGICERT1000.zip in the Attachment section of this article.

Address the issue that prevents the automatic update of root certificates on the system

Address the issue that prevents the automatic update of root certificates on the system.

Microsoft allows the administration of root certificate stores though several group policy objects and automatic updates. The administration of certificate stores isn’t within the scope of Technical Support.

Use the following solution only if the group policy prevents the root certificate update:

CAUTION: This article contains information about opening or modifying the registry.

The following information is intended for System Administrators. Registry modifications are irreversible and could cause system failure if done incorrectly.
Before proceeding, Technical Support strongly recommends that you back up your registry and understand the restore process. For more information, see the Microsoft Windows registry information for advanced users article.
Do not run a REG file that is not confirmed to be a genuine registry import file.

Change the registry value for HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\DisableRootAutoUpdate from 1 to 0.

NOTE: If you’re making this change using group policy for wide deployment, the Group Policy Object (GPO) for this setting is at: Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Internet Communication Management, Internet Communication settings, Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update. Change Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update from Enabled to Disabled.
1. Press Windows+R, type regedit, and click OK.
2. Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\DisableRootAutoUpdate.
3. Change the value from 1 to 0.
4. Exit the registry editor.
If present, remove the registry key ProtectedRoots, which is at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root\ProtectedRoots:
1. Press Windows+R, type regedit, and click OK.
2. Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\Root.
3. Right-click ProtectedRoots, click Export, and choose a location in which to save a backup copy.
4. Right-click ProtectedRoots, click Delete, and click Yes when prompted.
5. Exit the registry editor.
