Hi im trying to import a certificate request from a Linux server on a windows 2008 enterprise certificate authority domain controller. The certificate is in PKCS10 format. When I try to import it using the Microsoft certification authority tool I receive the following message:

I have made all the existing templates available to no avail and I have also tried to import this by using the web interface which also generates the same denied by policy error.

I am able to import this on a stand alone 2003 server with no problems.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
