Automatic Certificate Request Setup Wizard

Hi all,

When I try to set up the Automatic Certificate Request Setup Wizard, I
try the following steps. Although on step 7, the enterprise CA doesn't
appear on the list, can anyone tell me why please?


----------------------------------------------

Step 1b: Installing Computer Certificates


To configure computer certificate enrollment for an enterprise CA

1. Open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.

2. In the console tree, double-click Active Directory Users and
Computers, right-click the domain name to which your CA belongs, and
then click Properties.

3. On the Group Policy tab, click the appropriate Group Policy object
(the default object is Default Domain Policy), and then click Edit.

4. In the console tree, open Computer Configuration, then Windows
Settings, then Security Settings, then Public Key Policies, then
Automatic Certificate Request Settings.

5. Right-click Automatic Certificate Request Settings, point to New,
and then click Automatic Certificate Request.

6. The Automatic Certificate Request wizard appears. Click Next.

7. In Certificate templates, click Computer, and then click Next.
Your enterprise CA appears on the list.

^^^ Step 7 - The Enterprise CA doesn't appear on the list!

I can not remember ever seeing the CA name [maybe because there was only
one]. Try entering the certificate type and then seeing if it works on a
computer that is affected by that Group Policy. Rebooting it should cause it
to receive a computer certificate that you can verify by logging onto the
computer as an administrator and using the mmc snapin for certificates for
computer and looking in the personal\certificates store. Your CA certificate
should also show as a trusted CA in the trusted CA folder. --- Steve
