Enterprise CA - Code Signing Certificate

Is there a way to get a code signing certificate for using in MS Office that is not a user certificate?

Something that can be deployed/recognized domain wide using W2k3 Enterprise Edition Certificate Authority.

Not sure what else to ask, so if you have questions let me know.

There is a default template called "code signing" that you can use or duplicate if you want to change options for it in the Certificate Templates MMC. This is not normally assigned to the CA, so you need to go into the Certification Authorities MMC - select the Certificate Templates folder - right click - new - certificate template to issue - select the code signing template (or duplicated template based on that). You may need to wait a few minutes for AD to replicate.

You can then go to the certsrv page and select the first option twice and it should show up in the template list dropdown menu. If it isn't there try back a few minutes later (AD replication).

If you need to check permissions, do so on the security tab of the template in the Cerificate Templates MMC. Again, AD replication time..

Paranormastic,

I thought that was simply to allow users to get code signing certificates. I'm trying to find a way to have a single "Company A" code signing certificate that all users inside the company can use to sign code with that will be trusted by all other users inside the company automatically.
