I have a pool of 6 servers that host the same website and use the same SSL cert from Thawte. Today SSL stopped working on every server. ANy ideas? Here is an error message I found on one of the servers:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Schannel
Event Category: None
Event ID: 36870
Date: 3/9/2004
Time: 8:10:19 AM
User: N/A
Computer: XXX
Description:
A fatal error occurred when attempting to access the SSL
server credential private key. The error code returned
from the cryptographic module is 0xffffffff.

a) ensure machine is patch up to date
b) try remove the old cert and re-import the cert file.
