Occurred on a Terminal Server after copying user profiles after a migration. Internet Explorer (IE7 & IE8) were unable to browse any SSL HTTPS website, "Unable to load the page", if logged in as an ordinary user. Okay if logged in as a local administrator.
Displaying the local SBS CA certificate as the user also showed an error that the certificate could not be validated.
The cause of the problem was a registry permission on HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft
- because this is where Group Policy gets applied the user only has explicit Read access; because the profile had been copied the explicit permission on the registry was incorrect. To fix use regedit to load the hive and add the correct user with Read access.
