I have 2 Windows 2012 R2 servers that are not updating their certificates from WSUS. I have confirmed that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\DisableRootAutoUpdate is set to 0 and that policy setting for "turn off Certificate updates" is set to "disabled. Both servers have been rebooted since these changes were applied and neither is updating Certs from WSUS (but they are getting their patches). Any guidance would be appreciated. None of my other servers in this environment have this issues, and they all have identical registry keys under "Authroot".
