>Over the years I've encountered many cases of spurious or unwanted Windows Event Log messages that simply cannot be disabled or fixed; MS itself has acknowledged many of them ("will be fixed in an upcoming version of Windows" but are never fixed for your current version).

Well, in this case, I would basically like a switch, or something we can access in the Registry to turn it off. That would be good enough. :)

>If you're developing an Event Log monitor or dashboard you will need to have some way to store events that are known/confirmed to be spurious and which can therefore be ignored by your system. If and when you do that you can add these warnings about that particular cert to that database.

And, we have. This is how I discovered it a few seconds after it was created. I think here, it is basically a question of having the ability to get those, or specific warnings like that, or not. When we control the situation, we usually do not want to be notified about things that we consider already resolved.
