note Note

If you have not already created an MMC console that contains Certificates, see Related Topics.
To perform this procedure, the view mode must be organized by Logical Certificate Stores. See Related Topics.
You can use this procedure to request certificates from an enterprise certification authority only. To request certificates from a stand-alone certification authority, you need to request certificates via Web pages. A Windows 2000 certification authority has its Web pages located at http:\\servername\certsrv, where servername is the name of Windows 2000 server hosting the certification authority.
