Notes

To open Internet Explorer, click Start, point to All programs, and then click Internet Explorer.
Running Web enrollment on a Windows 2000 Web server acting as a Web enrollment agent for a Windows Server 2003 CA may not provide the full functionality of the CA, because it was not designed to fully integrate with the Windows Server 2003 CA. Limits may occur with smart card enrollment or enrollment for a certificate based on a Version 2 certificate template. To provide full functionality through the Web enrollment agent, run it on a Windows Server 2003, Web Edition.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
