And once that's done, once you've created all of these templates,
we now need to publish these.
So we've created the certificate templates.
These are stored in Active Directory.
Now we have to tell our CA that it's allowed to issue them.
So let's jump over to the CA Management Console where we started.
We'll highlight Certificate Templates. And here, you'll see that there
are no published templates in this folder.
And that's, again, because this is a brand‑new lab that I set up for
this course, and so no templates have been issued.
Your environment looks very different, I'm sure.
But once we're ready to deploy these certificates,
you're just going to right‑click on the Templates folder and
choose New and Certificate Template to Issue.
And here, we're going to select our certificate templates that we
created previously. (Working) And there you have it.
These certificates are now available to be consumed by
users or identities in your organization.
Now, it's important to know that if you have multiple issuing CAs,
you may need to do the same process on multiple servers.
Also, keep in mind, this is a single domain domain controller
lab. There's no issues with replication.
You are creating these certificate templates in Active Directory, and
they do have to replicate before they will be available.
So, if you have a large organization and you've created these templates and
you don't see them available immediately, don't panic.
You can either force replication or go grab a cup of
coffee and wait for it to complete.
Once replication completes, then you'll see those templates, and you'll be able to publish them.
