Publishing a certificate template to allow enrolment

One of the most common certificate troubleshooting issues that's encountered is figuring out why a particular certificate template is not available when the user or computer tries to request a certificate. Having created a new certificate template does not necessarily mean that you are ready to start issuing certificates based on that template. We also need to publish our new template so that the CA server knows that it is ready to publish to computers and users. There is also a security section of the template properties, where you need to define who or what has access to request certificates based on that template. In this recipe, we will find those settings and configure our new certificate template so that any domain-joined workstation can request a certificate from our new template.

Getting ready

We are going to use a Windows 10 machine to manage a Windows Server 2019 Certificate Authority.
