  4. Type Domain Controller Auto Certificate Enrollment in the name box and select OK
  5. Right-click the Domain Controller Auto Certificate Enrollment Group Policy object and select Edit
  6. In the navigation pane, expand Policies under Computer Configuration
  7. Expand Windows Settings > Security Settings > Public Key Policies
  8. In the details pane, right-click Certificate Services Client - Auto-Enrollment and select Properties
  9. Select Enabled from the Configuration Model list
  10. Select the Renew expired certificates, update pending certificates, and remove revoked certificates check box
  11. Select the Update certificates that use certificate templates check box
  12. Select OK
  13. Close the Group Policy Management Editor
