A valid enrollment certificate for this
domain's <domain name> forest is not
installed on the <FQDN> enrollment
server, or it may have expired
No enrollment certificate for this domain has been installed, or the certificate is invalid or
has expired. The enrollment certificate must be issued by an enterprise CA that is trusted
by the forest this domain is a member of. Verify that you have completed the steps in the
View Administration document, which describes how to install the enrollment certificate on
the enrollment server. You can also open the MMC, certificate management snap-in,
opening the local computer store. Open the Personal certificate container and verify that
the certificate is installed, and that it is valid. You can also open the enrollment server log
file. The enrollment server will log additional information about the state of any certificate it
located.
