The windows Cryptographic service provider an error: the keyset is not defined. Error code: 2148073497

I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, Adobe 8.1 Professional, ActivClient Agent, with CAC card
Trying to sign a document digitally however I keep getting : The windows Cryptographic service provider an error: the keyset is not defined. Error code: 2148073497
-I have tried by deleting my certificates off the computer and reinstalling, this did not help.
-I have tried rebooting the computer, this did not help.
-I google the error message and can't locate any step by step instructions to fix this problem.
Could use some assistance. Please do not assume I'm top of line knowledgeable in Adobe when giving me a fix. That is the reason I am looking for step by step instructions. Thanks.

Hi Chief Mendenhall,
It's really a Microsoft error, not a Acrobat error, but I know that doesn't make the inability to sign any less frustrating. This probably has something to do with the communication bridge between Acrobat, Windows, and the CAC software. I know you're not responsible for software upgrades, but is there any chance you can download the free Adobe Reader (Adobe Reader Install for all versions). Even though Reader doesn't have the same editing capability as Acrobat Pro, it will allow you to sign a PDF file, and what I'm looking to see is if this is somehow related to the age of version 8.1, which is well past its end-of life. Even version 9 in longer supported.
Thanks,
Steve

I assume you are implying "biztax" application here, right?
I have contacted their program lead, with no result at all.
Past days I have been searching for a solution - reinstalls / new systems - no solution.
This issue appeared a week or two ago only.
I found http://forums.adobe.com/message/5338853 useful - but no positive results either.
http://test.eid.belgium.be/faq/faq_nl.htm obviously didnt help either.
If anyone finds a solution to this issue, please do let me know - any help is appreciated.
Biztax tells to use the "signature", not the "authentication" - but it is only Auth. that is showing up as option to sign (that works)
ps, did you fiddle with the Adobe Reader XI security settings and import that PKI etc as well? I hoped that would be the breaktrough. Sadly i'm still crying in my chair.
Oh, and dont forget: they claim nobody else got this issue. Maybe one or two people. (We got about 8 customers experiencing exactly the same symptoms at the same time )
> I noticed that when I try to open the pdf document that is 'signed' by the government it is not showing the filename in the title bar, but only " - Adobe Reader". every piece of info helps I guess.
Obviously last version of Reader 11.0.03

Windows Cryptographic Service Provider - error code: 2148532334 (Windows 8.1)

Dear,
since my computer was recently updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 I have a problem with placing my signature (via certifcates).
Before the update I could sign all my pdf-files with my electronic identity card - without issues.
Now I receive a window: "windows-security" which says: Smartcarderror (some required programmes are not installed on the system).
When I click "cancel" I get the error code in subject.
Another card reader is not changing anything, neither another smartcard (id-card).
Please advise, as signing pdf-files is very important for our company.
Thanks. Willem Van Lommel
NB: in my opinion all other updates are done without troubles.
NB2: please find herewith some prt scns (in Dutch):
1. before a smartcard was pushed in the cardreader:
2. after the smartcard was added (same when card was added to other cardreader)
3. because "ok" didn't result in anything -> you have to click "cancel - annuleren" or on the red X (at the right corner), then the result is:

If by "Adboe X Pro" you mean Acrobat, you are more likely to get a useful reply if you ask in the Acrobat forum.
All I can tell you that this error (0x80100068) means "The smart card has been reset, so any shared state information is invalid."

Windows Cryptographic Service Provider error: 2148073489

Every time I try to sign a PDF with my CAC enabled cards, this error for "Object not found" shows up. I am able to use my CAC cards to log into sites and my computer, as well as to sign PDFs on other computers, but on my computer I cannot digitally sign. Please help!

Which environment: platform (I presume Win), which OS/version, which product (Acrobat/Reader) and version (including minor)?

Howdy all,
I get the error below when trying to sign multiple Adobe documents with a DoD CAC. Any ideas as to what the problem is? Basically, if I have more than one document to sign, I have to remove the CAC and re-authenticate. Please let me know, thanks.

Any ideas? Thank you!

I had this exact same problem! Thank you so much Robert for posting a link to that script! That is truly an amazing Powershell script.
I had all the same errors that AK772 mentioned, but I chose to zoom in on a different issue that the script pointed out. When I ran the "Test CA Infrastructure" step it found several errors. When I looked at what the script was doing there it was
comparing the server certificate thumbprint in the registry (HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows Server\Identity) with the personal certificates (Personal Certificates in the Certificate snap-in using MMC). When I looked through them individually, sure enough
the thumbprint in the registry didn't exist in my certificate store. I have NO idea how this could have happened!
However, from there, I changed my Google search criteria and found the following excellent article:
http://titlerequired.com/2013/04/29/windows-server-2012-essentials-an-error-prevented-the-dashboard-from-opening/
This told more about that error and showed how to regenerate the certificate identity in the registry. This totally saved me! Once I ran through the steps that he outlines, even though I got a timeout error towards the end, I could see that the certificate
thumbprint had changed in the registry and now existed in my personal certificate store.
Once I saw this, I tried going into services and manually starting the stopped "Windows Server Service Provider Registry" service. Sure enough it started right up, no error this time. Finally, I restarted the server so that all of the other dependent
services would come back up and re-ran the linked script above and everything was perfect.
Thanks so much for the breadcrumbs in this post and all of your contributions. I hope that this post will equally be able to help someone else through this very troublesome and evasive error!

Is there a way to change the Windows Update service startup type on Windows Server 2012 R2?

We have a number of newly built 2012 R2 servers that we have HP Operations Manager agent running on that monitors the status of several services and reports if they are "stopped". One of these services is Windows Update. Every day we
get at least one alert saying:
"Service "Windows Update" is not started. Current state is stopped"
Checking the event logs shows that the Windows Update service stops, then a while later it just starts again. Not an error, just an information event.
In Windows 2012 R2 the Windows Update service is set to "Automatic (Trigger Start)", where in previous versions we run (2012/2008R2) it would be set to just "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)"
I have come to understand that this behaviour is normal for Windows 2012 R2, and that Trigger Start services by design stop themselves after a period of inactivity. I was unable to find any info on how this works. Our client would like this to
be changed and the Windows Update service stay running all the time, understanding that this impacts performance.
Is there a way to change the Windows Update service in Server 2012 R2 to the old Automatic startup behaviour so that it stays running all the time instead of stopping and starting periodicall? There is no option to do this via the services mmc
gui.
So far I have tried:
Removing the Triggers using the command: sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete
This works temporarily, the service then shows as just Automatic in the services console, however if you restart the server or restart the service it goes right back to being Automatic (Trigger Start).
Any kind of help would be appreciated.

This one might help.

Hi Abdallah,
According to your description, could you please post the summary and detail logs for further analysis? By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Usually, the error occurs when the Windows Installer Service is not running or the Windows Installer registry settings are corrupted. I recommend you reset the Windows Installer Service settings in the registry and restart the Windows Installer Service,
then reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2. For more details, please review this similar
article.
Thanks,

WDS Server Service won't start - 'An error occurred trying to start the Windows Deployment Services Server.'

I'm having issues installing starting the WDS server service on Win 2008 R2, this is happening on multiple (all 2008 R2) systems on this domain so I'm beginning to think it's either AD or network related, in event viewer I get the following error.

Error Information: 0x0906

It seems I've found out the solution myself, the issue seems to be caused when DHCP and WDS are on the same server, The installation must identify this during the first installation of WDS but not on subsequent installations, the method to
get it working again is:
1.
Install WDS Role (using defaults)
2.
Make the following registry change:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WDSServer\Providers\WDSPXE\UseDhcpPorts = 0
3.
Run the following command line to initialize Windows Deployment Services:
wdsutil /initialize-server /reminst:D:\RemoteInstall
4.
Run the following command to enable the DHCP port registry setting
wdsutil /Set-Server /UseDHCPPorts:No /DHCPOption60:Yes
