#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Certificate enrolment fails -- template permissions and CA errors Fix : Publish the template and confirm the CA is reachable Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-app-ca-enrollment Run as : Elevated PowerShell on the CA Expect : 30 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX The template does not appear to the requester. HOW TO UNDO IT Remove-CATemplate unpublishes it again. 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.
