    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
