automatic certificate request GPO VS Auto enroll Kristin Griffin 02-19-2008

Hi.

What is the difference between automatic certificate request GPO and auto
enrollment? It seems to me that they accomplish the exact same thing. Is
there any reason to use one over the other?

Also, why is the autorequest wizard only have 4 templates to choose from? I
have created other templates and those new templates work with auto
enrollment, and are assigned to my CA. How can I increase the template list
for autorequest wizard?

Thanks!

Kristin

ACRS only supports V1 computer certificate templates and is there to
support Windows 2000 which does not support the use of autoenrollment.
