  Hi,

  As per the event ID 13 description, error code "0x800706ba -  The RPC server is unavailable" is recorded for this and the troubleshooting steps are

  • Verify that the client can get a certificate using the Manual Enrollment via the MMC Certificate Wizard.
  • Check network connectivity to all of the available certification authorities listed in the Enrollment Services object listed in the Active Directory:CN=Enrollment Services,CN=Public Key Services,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=Domain,DC=com
  • Verify that the Certificate Services service is running on the certification authority.
  • Check for firewalls and proxy settings.
  • Use Portqry to verify that the necessary RPC ports are opened.

  The same info you can find in http://blogs.technet.com/b/instan/archive/2009/12/07/troubleshooting-autoenrollment.aspx

  using the certutil config command I found the CA server.

  this server was used for testing, and is already not in used.

  since the CA server is not in used, how do I stop the event logs from appearing again ?

  this is the server hostname that appear in the event viewer.
