Brian meant certreq, not certutil. The fact the the usage text was
displayed means that you haven't formed the command correctly. In fact, the
error message in the cmd prompt window is telling you exactly what the
problem is, you need to specify either -user or -machine as part of the
command line.

It appears that the matching key pair was not found:
1) Are you on the same computer where you generated the request
2) If you are, then you have to run either certutil -user -accept ssl.cer or certutil -machine -accept ssl.cer (depending on whether the request was originally generated in the machine security session or the user's

Hi,
It might be caused by incorrect permission.
If the certificate is for computer, check NTFS permission for the following directory on this client:
C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
By default, Administrators has Full Control permission. Everyone has special permissions without execute files, delete, change permissions and take ownerships permission.
If it is for user, check NTFS permission on the folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA.
By default, user, system and administrators have Full Control permissions.
Regards,
Diana
