To schedule the publication of the delta certificate revocation list

Log on to the system as a Certification Authority Administrator.
Open Certification Authority.
In the console tree, click Revoked Certificates.

Where?
- Certification Authority (Computer)/CA name/Revoked Certificates
On the Action menu, click Properties.
Select the Publish Delta CRLs check box.
In Publication interval, type the increment and click the unit of time to use for the automatic publishing of the delta certificate revocation list (CRL).

Notes

To open Certification Authority, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Certification Authority.
The delta certificate revocation list (CRL) is published by default in:

Systemroot\system32\CertSrv\CertEnroll\

If the computer is a domain member and has permission to write to Active Directory, then the delta CRL is also published to Active Directory.
The publishing period for a CRL is not the same as the validity period for a CRL. By default, the validity period of a CRL exceeds the publishing period of a CRL by 10% (up to a 12-hour maximum) to allow for directory replication. For more information about revoking certificates and publishing CRLs, see Related Topics.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
