Solution—Verify the following and reactivate Forefront UAG.

  1. That the computer account activating Forefront UAG, has write permissions to the <Forefront UAG installation>\von\conf folder.
  2. That the DaOtp.xml file is not in use by another process.
  3. That there is available disk space on the Forefront UAG server.


20512 - Activation failed because OTP certificate %1 cannot be enrolled from configured OTP CA servers. Check the event log for specific details.

Cause—This is a general error. During Forefront UAG activation the DirectAccess OTP Workstation certificate is enrolled from each specified OTP CA server. This message occurs if none of these enrollments succeeded.

Solution—This event is accompanied by one of the warning messages above (20500-20511). By troubleshooting the related event, you can diagnose the reason for the enrollment failure.
