  1. thanks! we were going round and round with the same error. We thought it was due to the CA computer account not having read access to the specific template (as suggested by numerous other sites), but Auth Users was listed with Read access. We couldn’t figure out why we couldn’t enroll for a cert. This tip resolved it and probably saved us hours of troubleshooting!
