This might be a stupid question but I am beating my head against the wall. I have tried removing whitespace, trying single %.. etc and I am following the microsoft 2008 doc on how to set it up.
Templates\Default\Pending
BodyArg -
Request.RequestID
UPN
Request.RequesterName
Request.SubmittedWhen
Request.DistinguishedName
CertificateTemplate
Request.DispositionMessage
BodyFormat -
Request ID: %%1
UPN: %%2
Requester Name: %%3
Request Submission Date (GMT): %%4
Distinguished Name: %%5
Certificate Template used: %%6
Request Disposition Message: %%7
E-mail comes like this -
Title - A certificate is pending on %1
Body -
Request ID: %1
UPN: %2
Requester Name: %3
Request Submission Date (GMT): %4
Distinguished Name: %5
Certificate Template used: %6
Request Disposition Message: %7
I feel like this should be easy and I am just missing something. Why aren't the %Variables subbing in the bodyarg values? Thank you For ANY help!
double '%' is necessary only when you write reg values from batch script. Otherwise, only single '%' is necessary. That is, in registry, only single percent character must be used.
I agree .. but a double %% was shown in one of the docs. I also tried using single % signs and I still had the same output.
Did you restart certificate services after making changes?
ugh... I am almost embarrassed to say this was the issue, I had originally used the single %, (didn't restart) when that didn't work went to %%, when that didn't work I then restarted the server thinking a restart of the service might kick it in. (obviously that didn't work) and that's when I logged this forum question. Thank you Crypt32!

Hello @Spatz, Jason W ，
Thank you for posting here.
1.Based on the description "I am following the microsoft 2008 doc on how to set it up", what microsoft 2008 doc did you follow? Would you please provide the article link?
2.What are you doing now?
3.And what issue do you have now?
4.What is BodyArg? Is it a microsoft product or non-Microsoft product?

Good Morning Thank you for your reply! The two links you provided were the exact documentation I was following. BodyArg is the registry key I was populating with the columns from the CS database. BodyFormat was the registry key that I was expecting to display in my email with the %% variables calling the BodyArg arguments However when the e-mail comes it is only displaying the %1 and not the data that should be in the CS Database. I was wondering if something changed since 2008 that these should be done differently or something?
