I don't know offhand but suspect that the CA you were denied access to is
not configured to use that certificate template or the permissions for that
template do not allow you to request a certificate for that server. You
could use the Certificate Authority Management Console to compare which
templates have been enabled on each CA and compare the permissions
configured. Otherwise verify that you have connectivity to the CA in
question from the domain controller that you are trying to obtain a
certificate by pinging it by IP address and fully qualified domain name and
using the command " certutil -ping -config CAcomputername " to see if the CA
responds as shown in the example below for me doing such from an XP Pro
domain computer. The link below explains some CA troubleshooting
methods. --- Steve

Server "CA3" ICertRequest2 interface is alive
