I don't exactly remember if I installed the web component when I installed
the CA. The reason at the time was I wasn't sure I wanted to use it. But
when I check installed component on the server, I see that the web enrollment
component is installed.

CertSrv is present as a virtual directory on the IIS but there is no
default.asp. What do I do?

Thanks for your help.
