Stand-alone CAs in Windows Server do not use certificate templates and the web enrollment requires all information to be supplied manually in the request. /Hasain

Hi, Stand-alone CAs do not use certificate templates. If you use stand-alone CAs, all information about the requested certificate type must be included in the certificate request. For more information, please refer to: Stand-alone certification authorities http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780501(WS.10).aspx Hope this helps. Regards, Bruce
