This article was previously published under Q265357 SYMPTOMS
If you are using a roaming user profile and the "Delete roaming profile cache" policy is in use, the CryptAcquireContext call does not succeed and returns an "NTE_TEMPORARY_PROFILE" error message.
This problem becomes apparent when a user requests a certificate using either the Certificate Services web pages or the Certificates MMC snap-in.
The Certificate Services Web pages will return the following error:
An error occurred while creating the certificate request. Please verify that your CSP supports any settings you have made and that your input is valid.
Suggested cause:
No suggestion.
Error: 0x080090024 - (unknown)
The Certificates MMC snap-in will return the following error:
The certificate request cannot be created. The profile for the user is a temporary profile.
CAUSE
In this instance, Windows 2000 does not properly account for PT_ROAMING being returned from GetProfileType.
