MS will release their Update for Minimum Certificate Key Length to WSUS next month. I'm curious about any special preparations anyone may have taken to identify certs within their domains that may not meet the new minimum key length standard (1024). Embedded devices, if using SSL, come to mind as a potential source of problems. Also, is anyone briefing their Help Desk staff on how to respond to callers who report that they can't connect to sites because of the new requirement? It's hard to tell how much is going to break with this update.
