symptom
Deployment wizard authentication with a remote domain fails when the Agent Component option to run the agent as LocalSystem is selected.

cause
The CryptoAPI key containers were corrupted.

fix

To correct the issue:

• Verify all the files and folders under this crypto directory have the correct permissions. The Owner, Administrators, and System should all have full access to that directory.
• Delete the files in the crypto directory. Use this option with caution because this will delete all the keys stored in the default container.

Note: The key containers are stored by default in %userprofile%/application data/microsoft/crypto.
