  • Article

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2

Symptom

The smart card certificates were renewed, but users are not able to use their smart cards to log on to their computers offline.

Resolution

Users must log on to the domain at least once to refresh the offline smart card logon cache.
