Hello, I've installed Server 2016 Standard on a physical server and it's been joined to the domain.

I continue receiving CertificateServicesClient-CertEnroll and CertificateServicesClient-AutoEnrollment errors (Event IDs 6, 13, 82, and 13).

Below is the complete error for Event IDs 6 and 13:

Log Name: Application
Source: Microsoft-Windows-CertificateServicesClient-AutoEnrollment
Date: 1/15/2021 1:48:32 PM
Event ID: 6
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic

Computer:
Description:
Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed (0x800706ba) The RPC server is unavailable.

Event ID: 13
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: SYSTEM
Computer:
Description:
Certificate enrollment for Local system failed to enroll for a DomainControllerAuthentication certificate with request ID N/A from "CA" (The RPC server is unavailable. 0x800706ba (WIN32: 1722 RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE)).

I've verified RPC is running and the Certificate Authority can communicate to and from the server on port 135.

This is the first time I've encountered these errors.

Can you please assist with a solution to resolve this?

Thank you!

    @Vicky Wang Hello, I'm checking this week to see if opening the ports solves the issue. I will reply again after I test.
