Dave,

I'm using all standard templates. I've had issues in the past with
templates where permissions weren't set correctly and I don't think
that's the issue here. I've seen the templates issue manifest itself
with a different error message.

The MMC doesn't show my anything helpful because I never get to the
point of requesting the certificate. I'm hung up at the following
pages: certsrv/certrqbi.asp?type=0 and certsrv/certrqma.asp
  
One thing I didn't mention before is that I also have a Subordinate
Enterprise CA that also had the problem. I managed to fix this
somehow while following your suggestions and installing the CA
certification path last night. I've attempted to emulate the process
on the Enterprise Root CA but am unable to. Perhaps I don't really
need to go further because the Root CA isn't really supposed to be
used for issuing certificates. I'm able to renew the Subordinate CA
certificate from the Root CA.

Here's one recurring error in the System Log:

The currently selected KDC certificate was once valid, but now is
invalid and no suitable replacement was found. Smartcard logon may
not function correctly if this problem is not remedied. Have the
system administrator check on the state of the domain's public key
infrastructure. The chain status is in the error data.

I've looked up this error message in Google Groups and MS. Nothing
applicable in MS and only two entries in Google groups with questions
and no responses.
