Autoenroll for a Certificate from the Certificates Snap-in
Many organizations will use Group Policy to automatically enroll users, computers, or services for certificates. With automatic enrollment, a user might see a reminder with a prompt to complete the enrollment. However, there might also be times when a user or administrator wants to verify that all pending automatic enrollment requests are processed. The following procedure describes how to complete this task.
Users or local Administrators is the minimum group membership required to complete this procedure. Review the details in "Additional considerations" in this topic.
