Additional considerations
-
User certificates can be managed by the user or by an administrator. Certificates issued to a computer or service can only be managed by an administrator or user who has been given the appropriate permissions.
-
The component that enables Web enrollment in this version of Windows is different from the component that enables Web enrollment in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP. Windows Server 2003 CA Web enrollment pages must be updated to support computers running Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating systems. For more information, see the Microsoft Help and Support Web site (
