  • The component that enables Web enrollment in this version of Windows is different from the component that enables Web enrollment in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP. Windows Server 2003 CA Web enrollment pages must be updated to support both Windows Vista® and earlier clients. For more information, see the Microsoft Web site (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=63592).

  • You also need to make https://servername a trusted site for Internet Explorer in order to browse for a file on the computer's disk drive. To make https://servername a trusted site, in Internet Explorer, click Tools, point to Internet Options, point to Security, point to Trusted Sites, and then click Sites.
