Certificates on a smart card are not registered with the user storage

Created by Mikhail Baturinskiy, Modified on Tue, 15 Apr at 7:33 AM by Mikhail Baturinskiy

Problem:
When a smart card with Microsoft CA certificates on it is connected to a workstation, the certificates are not registered with the user private storage in Certificates snap in.

Solution:
Make sure that the Certificate Propagation Service is enabled and running at the user workstation. This service is responsible for copying of RSA certificates to the storage.
For more details on this and other settings of certificates and smart cards in Windows please see the following article: Smart Card Group Policy and Registry Settings.
