How can I renew an expired machine certificate on the Sub-CA server?
We have our own PKI infastructure that consists of a stand-alone CA set up on Server 2019. Then the subordinate CA is set up on a domain joined member server 2019 machine. It seems the machine certificate on the Sub-CA has expired. Here's how I'm attempting to renew it.
- Run certlm.msc to open up the local computer store.
- navigate to Certificates - Local Computer > Personal > Certificates.
- Right-click the certificate and select All Tasks - Request Certificate with New Key.
- On the Certificate Enrollment window I click Next.
- I get "Enrollment error - An enrollment policy server can not be located"
In gpedit.msc on the Sub-CA machine I checked Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Public Key Policies and the same path in User Configuration (if User Configuration matters here). The setting for Certificate Services Client - Certificate Enrollment Policy is set to not configured. Also, Certificate Services Client - Auto-Enrollment is enabled with no other check boxes selected.
I'd like to include a screen shot of the certificate itself as it appears in certlm.msc, but can't see any way to attach or include an image here. So here's the best I can do.
