When deploying a CA for the first time to support Smart Card logon I get the following error, an error occurred when creating the new key container. Please make sure the CSP is installed correctly or select another CSP. The CSP is the Microsoft Smart Card Key Storage Provider.

Windows Server Identity and access Certificates and public key infrastructure (PKI)

    Hello

    Greetings!

    First, you should make sure the Compatibility should be at least Windows server 2008 (below).

    Second, Provider Category should be "Key Storage Provider".
