make sure if:1) root certificate is in computer store, Trusted Root CAs container.2) Authenticated Users group is granted Request Certificates permissions in Security tab (in certsrv.msc snap-in)3) your Enterprise CA is correctly registered in Enrollment Services container. On CA server run pkiview.msc, select Enterprise PKI node and clicl Manage AD Containers in context menu. Switch to Enrollment Services tab and here should be your Enterprise CA certificate.http://www.sysadmins.lv

make sure if CA certificate is not revoked and if client is able to build a certification path up to root certificate.http://www.sysadmins.lv

since we have just root CA, i can see the path root_certificate\client_certificate, maybe it is something with the rights, because with some admin users I am not able to request computer certificate, but what rights i have to manage ? thanksaurimas

I gave enroll rithts to test user for Administrator Template and now I am able to enroll Administrator certificate with this user. But why I am not able to request User or Computer certificate even if these Templates are available in CA Certificate Templates container even the rights are correct?thanks,aurimas
