OCSP good on 1 server, bad on another

Question
-
- I have 2 Online Responders installed on 2 issuing CAs. I also have an offline Root CA.
- Online responder on Issuing CA1 is the Online Responder Array Controller
- Issuing CA2 has the Online Responder installed, but (I assume) controlled by the Array Controller.
In the Enterprise PKI:
- CA2 and Root CA - Everthing works except the OCSP Location #1 and OCSP Location #2
- CA1 is golden, everything is working perfectly even the OCSP location #1 and #2 (exact same URL path as CA2 and Root CA)
Why is OCSP working for 1 CA but not the others?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.
I understand that OCSP location is working properly on Issuing CA1 which is the Online Responder Array Controller but not working on CA2 and Root CA.
The problem can be related to the Responder Array setting.

I replaced my OCSP templates with 2008 v3 templates and granted the NETWORK SERVICE read access to the certificate in the template.
After waiting an hour or so both CA's showed OK for both on-line responders.
Thanks for the help Kevin!
