If you get “The Certificate Service terminated with service-specific error 2148204801(0x800B0101)” you need to renew the certificate the certificate authority for your domain. If you are renewing a certificate for a self-signed domain, you can follow the procedure below. In my case the certificate is valid for 5 years.

  1. Go to Admin tools > Certification Authority. 
  2. Highlight your server and right click. Then select All Tasks > Renew CA Certificate.
  3. If everything works, you should be able to start the certificate service. Highlight your server and right click. Then select All Tasks > Start Service.
