"No Certificate Templates Could Be Found" Error Message When User Requests Certificate from CA Web Enrollment Pages



I am having some problem with users (even other domain admins)
requesting certificates. I am sending them to the certificate server
webpage, and when they click on the link Create and submit a request to
this CA, they get the following error message:

"No certificate templates could be found. You do not have permission to
request a certificate from this CA, or an error occurred while
accessing the Active Directory."

I (an enterprise admin) can authenticate and request a certificate, but
I verified the error message occurs with other domain admins like I
said. I checked the KB article
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=811418) that deals with this error,
and did not see any difference (case or otherwise) between the two
strings (dNSHostName attribute and the the value for sServerConfig). I
nevertheless copied and pasted the value to the other server. The same
error still occured when the user shutdown and restarted IE.

Any other suggestions?
