Good call. The server shows only one web site - the default web site. It contains the virtual directory named CertEnroll that points to is C:\Windows\system32\CertSrv\CertEnroll, and the application CertSrv that points to C:\Windows\system32\CertSrv\en-US.
In the ADCS the error is showing up for the URL for both the AIA and the CDP locations, which in both cases is http://cert.mycompany.com/certenroll/filename.ext, and there is a share called CertEnroll that points to that directory. Permissions on the share are Everyone:Read and Administrators:Full Control. In the IIS log, the status when accessing a file in the directory is 404, with an sc-substatus of 0 and an sc-win32-status of 64, which seems to mean "The specified network name is no longer available." The status when accessing the directory itself is 403, with an sc-substatus of 14, which seems to mean "Directory listing denied", and an sc-win32-status of 0. As an experiment, I tried adding Everyone:Read NTFS permissions to C:\Windows\system32\CertSrv\CertEnroll, then restarting w3svc and certsvc, and get the same error in the logs and web browser. I have removed that permission. After restarting those two services, I find the following in the Application event log (and can't seem to find much on it using Google): Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-CertificationAuthority Date: 12/4/2011 9:16:51 AM Event ID: 44 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: SYSTEM Computer: cert.mycompany.com Description: The "Windows default" Policy Module "Initialize" method returned an error. Cannot find object or property. The returned status code is 0x80092004 (-2146885628). The Active Directory Certificate Services Policy contains no valid Certificate Templates.
