I am having an issue getting autoenrollment to occur. I am not getting an error that I can see - it appears to be not initiating.
The forest is at Windows 2008 R2 domain functional. The root CA is an enterprise CA. The client machines are Windows 2008 R2.
I installed only the Certification Authority role service. This CA will only be used to issue server authentication certificates within its forest.
I've followed the tasks for Configuring AutoEnrollment in Group Policy.
I've verified the Default Action for a Certificate Request.
Along with th steps outlined in Set Up Automation Certificate Enrollment, I duplicated the default Computer (Machine) template, set properties, and granted Read, Enroll, and AutoEnroll to Domain Compunters.
Results:
I see two information entries in the Application event log on the client with the following text:
- Certificate enrollment for Local system is successfully authenticated by policy server {9EC47EC2-7C6B-42EE-9722-3650C7E4EED1}
- Certificate enrollment for Local system successfully load policy from policy server
On the CA, I see no entries in Failed Requests, Pending Requests, or Revoked Certificates. I also see no new entries in Issued Certificates.
On the client, I can use certutil or the certificates MMC snapin to request a new certificate that automatically gets issued, but I'm looking for autoenrollment to kick-in so I can avoid logging into every machine.
I appreciate any advice or direction in this matter.
