Hello All,

We recently moved to SCOM 2019 since then we have been receiving the below errors in the System event logs on all of the SCOM management servers.

Event ID: 36871
Event Source: Schannel
Description: A fatal error occurred while creating a TLS client credential. The internal error state is 10013.

All SCOM Management servers are running on windows server 2019.

kindly assist us on this.

    Hi @kumaravelu ,

    Do you see this event in the System Log? What makes you think that it is related to SCOM? What TLS Version is currentl configured:

    • in SCOM?
    • on your OS?
    • on your SCOM DBs?

    Can you please go over this post and see if this is also helpful:

    @kumaravelu , Research and find a similar issue. in that case, these SCHANNEL 36871 events being logged are due to a configuration on the server itself.

    Here is the resolution for that issue for the reference:
    1.Made the necessary modifications from the following
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/tls
    Transport Layer Security (TLS) best practices with the .NET Framework.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft.NETFramework\v2.0.50727]
    "SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001
    "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]
    "SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001
    "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\v2.0.50727]
    "SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001
    "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]
    "SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001
    "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001
    Note: please do a backup before we change any registry key.

    2.After these modifications are made to enable .NET to utilize more secure TLS versions a reboot is required.
    3.After this is accomplished the SCHANNEL events are no more.

    Hope it can help.

    @Crystal-MSFT I think the forum post removed the "\" between Microsoft and .NETFramework. It did just now for me when I attempted to point it out.

    It is good to try and remove the usage of older TLS protocols. I see a reply from Gerben here about removing SSH3, which is the protocol from before TLS 1.0.

    Have a look at Kevins post about TLS 1.2 here: https://kevinholman.com/2018/05/06/implementing-tls-1-2-enforcement-with-scom/

    and here is a page from the Msft docs site from a later date: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/scom/plan-security-tls12-config?view=sc-om-2022

    These types or errors can be very frustrating.
