When I try and request a Domain Controller certificate I get an error

I have a 2008 domain and one of my domain controllers (AD1) is my certificate authority. When I try and request a domain controller certificate for one of the other domain controllers (AD2 or AD3), I get an error (See below). I have added the Domain Controllers to the "Certificate Service DCOM Access" and restarted the Cert svc, to no avail. I turned off the firewall for "domain, private and public". Any ideas?

Hi

Your error message (Class not registered) seems similar to the problems outlined in this thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/clr/thread/4d994962-35c2-44cc-b91c-28f7e6fe3b91

I realize this is 2000/2003 information but maybe it will point you in the right direction.

A possible solution could be the one outlined in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/840690/en-us

I would at least check your configuration to see if "Enable Session State" was checked as outlined in the article above.

Hope this helps :)

Thank you all for your assistance. I believe it was all of you that helped keep my train of thought.
Excellent post, pkwillis!  I spent just a few minutes reading up on this issue and found your post - pointed me directly to the incorrect information in AD.  Thanks for posting your solution!
