2008 RC1 DC: DomainControllerAuthentication Certificate Request error

Certificate enrollment for Local system failed to enroll for a DomainController certificate from (The RPC server is unavailable. 0x800706ba (WIN32: 1722)).

We have seen this for Vista/server 2008 trying to register for V2 templates agains 2003 CAs and suspect the same issue would be present in Windows Server 2008.  The following steps should resolve this:

1. Please check to ensure that a new security group, CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS, has been created after Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later has been applied.

2. Please add the “Domain Users”, “Domain Computers”, “Domain Controllers” groups to the new CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS security group.

3. Then we can have Certificate Services update the DCOM security settings by running the following commands:

certutil -setreg SetupStatus -SETUP_DCOM_SECURITY_UPDATED_FLAG

net stop certsvc

net start certsvc.
