Certificate Templates

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

Certificate templates can greatly simplify the task of administering a certification authority (CA) by allowing an administrator to issue certificates that have been preconfigured for selected tasks. The Certificate Templates snap-in allows an administrator to perform the following tasks:

  • View properties for each certificate template.

  • Copy and modify certificate templates.

  • Control which users and computers can read templates and enroll for certificates.

  • Perform other administrative tasks relating to certificate templates.
