Re: Cannot request certificate on client computer

When you look on the client PC under Certificates (Local Computer) ->
Trusted Root Certification Authorities -> Certificates, do you see one that
uses the name you gave the CA when you installed it on page 376? Does the
client PC have the proper DNS suffix as described on the bottom of page 379
(computername.domainname.local)?

I am following MS book on SBS 2003 R2 administrators companion page 378,
Requesting computer and user certificates.

I installed CA on server. Client is correctly attached to domain as domain
admin.

I launch MMC on client computer and add certificates (local computer) and
certificates current user.

When I right-click personal on certificates (local computer) and request
a certificate, I get error panel:

The wizard cannot be started because...
-There are no trusted certificate authorities available
- You do not have permissions to request certificates from available
CAs
- The available CAs issue certificates for which you do not have
permissions


When I created the local certificate on the server machine, the wizard
went through just fine.

Where is the hang-up?
