    The 'Certificate Store' is empty in the registry, using default store name 'MY'.

    Succesfully intialized registration renewal.

    Is your site in native mode?

    If so (I'm assuming yes), have you properly deployed the required client certificates to the clients: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680733.aspx

    I have this same issue when I am doing an XP to Win7 Hardlink in place migration through SCCM. The cert is there and in place and the machine was communicationg with SCCM in its win XP state. I can manually delete and re-install the cert and it will start to communicate with the SCCM server again. I've been searching through all of the logs and also from my research I can't find or make any sense of relation of certificate and old operating system.
