There are a lot of discussions on here about this problem, and I have spent all day exploring every one of them. All the servers involved in this are Windows 2019. 2 domain controllers and a certificate authority server. After installing the Certificate Services feature, I then also installed the Web Enrollment stuff. But when I go to my server's enrollment site, I am greeted with this error:

I've chased down several options. I validated permissions via:

I verified LDAP object configurations via:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-server/windows-security/no-certificate-templates-be-found

I verified the configuration from this site:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/96739/certificate-template-not-showing.html

I'm running out of options. The template is clearly there:

I'm completely out of ideas. I'm frustrated by this. Has anyone got any other ideas?

    Hello @Gorf ,

    Thank you for posting here.

    Beside the "Supply in the request" subject name.

    1.Could you please check if the computer group or the specific computer has read and enroll permissions, and Authenticated Users group has read permission.

    2.Also, please check if you can see this certificate template via MMC on the same machine.

    try to check this option in "subject name -> supply in the request"
    after, you need to republish your template.
