    Please publish the CRL using command: certutil –CRL

    Then check if there is the same error message.

    Usually this happens after incorrect CDP extension configuration on CA server. This error means that CA server was unable to publish one or more CRL file to a local, network folder or LDAP directory.

    Did you publish the CRL successfully in the past? If so, have you made any changes about CRL paths?

    A local, network folder or LDAP directory look like as below:
