  User Certificates are used by users for EFS,e-mail and client authentications whereas Computer certificates helps a computer to autenticate to the network.

  Hi,

  
  For user certificates, the Subject Alternative Name (SubjectAltName) extension, if used, contains the user principal name (UPN). By default, the User certificate template is configured with the UPN.

  
  For computer certificates, the SubjectAltName extension, if used, contains the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the computer, which is also called the DNS name. By default, the Workstation Authentication certificate template is not configured with this value and must be reconfigured to meet this requirement.
