    Hi,

    I have a Active Directory Certificate services installed in one of the servers. Later I deleted the server. Now a error log is being generated in all the servers. The details of the error log is given below.

    Certificate enrollment for local system failed to enroll for a Domain controller certficate with request ID N/A  from xxxx\KingRootCA. ( The RPC server is unavailable )

    Another error is Automatic certficate enrollmnt for local system failed. The RPC server is unavailable.

    I think both the above errors are related. Can anyone help me in resolving this errors??

    Regards,

    Hi,

    We shall uninstall the CA before removing the server to avoid such problem.
