I am Domain Admin of a company. We implement Active Directory Certificate Services in our company for email signature and encryption. Because we have more than 1000 users in our company, we want to enable auto-enrollment on User certificate template but we want to prevent users to have multiple certificates. Therefore we are seeking for a method to restrict them enroll certificate manually.

When we uncheck the enroll permission in the security tab of user template properties the auto-enrollment feature won't work. Is there any solution for my issue?

  • Why? I've yet to meet a user who's even willing to manually enroll for a certificate, let alone able to. I think you might be worrying over nothing. Feb 10, 2014 at 9:28

Multiple email certificates can cause issues but manual enrollment is a major inconvenience.

Instead, there is an option within the certificate template that can help.

It requires that certificates be published to AD.

Check the box "Do not automatically reenroll if a duplicate certificate exists in Active Directory"
