Autoenrollment Failure (0x80070005) - Additional help req'd.



I hope this thread is still open...

I've encountered the error mentioned in this post and have attempted to
apply the fix recommended. We have several DCs, some running SP1, some not.
One of the DCs is also a Certificate Server. On the DC that is a certificate
server we are not getting the error in the event log but I ran the fix on
that system. Seemed to run successfully.

On another DC, the "PDC" for the domain, ran the fix and encountered the
error:
CertUtil: -setreg command FAILED: 0x80070002 (WIN32: 2)
CertUtil: The system cannot find the file specified.
This DC continues to get the error in the event viewer.
This DC did not have SP1 applied yet. Do I need to apply the SP and then
run the fix?

On another DC, running SP1, applied the fix. Didn't seem to change
anything. The DC was not a Certificate Server. However, this DC continues
to report the error in the event viewer.

Help will be appreciated.
