No Certificate Templates in Certification Authority

  • 772

I have installed AD Certificate Services on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard edition. But when I open Certification Authority snap-in, there is no Certificate Templates folder:

Why? Have I missed something when installed it?

  1. In 2012 it comes as a separate mmc Snap-In (Certificate Templates)

  2. Did you specify "LoadDefaultTemplates = 1" in your CAPolicy.inf file before installing and setting up the CA role? If not, you'll need to manually define your published templates using the Certificate Templates snap-in tool.

    Recommend you review the CAPolicy.inf synatax article on TechNet

  3. Most probably you have a standalone CA installed. Try to install Enterprise CA.
