#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Certificate enrolment fails -- template permissions and CA errors Fix : Set the template permissions correctly Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-app-ca-enrollment Run as : Certificate Templates console Expect : 30 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX The request is denied. HOW TO UNDO IT Permission changes are reversible in the same console. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
