User Is Prompted to Download ActiveX Control When Requesting Certificate (818026)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
SYMPTOMS When a non-administrator user tries to request a
certificate from the certification authority (CA) on a Windows Server 2003
computer, the user is prompted to download and install an ActiveX control. The
user may not be able to install the ActiveX control if they are not logged onto
the computer as an Administrator. CAUSE This issue may occur if the Windows Server 2003 computer
uses a more recent version of the Xenroll.dll file than the version used by the
user's computer. RESOLUTION To resolve this issue, edit the Certdat.inc file on the
server. To do this, follow these steps:
- On the server, use Notepad to open the Certdat.inc file.
By default, the file is installed in the following folder:
%windir%\System32\Certsrv - Locate the following line:
sXEnrollVersion="5,131,3686,0" - Edit the line so that it appears as follows:
sXEnrollVersion="5,131,3659,0" - Save, and then close the file.
