You are mixing technologies.
The Computer certificate template is a v1 template, and is deployed using Automatic Certificate Request settings (ACRS). Permissions required are Read and Enroll permissions to a Global/Universal group containing the computer accounts. The GPO must be focused on an OU containing the computer accounts (or at the domain). The Computer certificate template must be added to the ACRS GPO definition).
If you want to deploy through AutoEnrollment, then you need to use the Workstation Authentication certificate template in combination with the Computer AutoEnrollment GPO. Permissions required are Read,Enroll, and AutoEnrollment permissions to a Global/Universal group containing the computer accounts. The GPO must be focused on an OU containing the computer accounts (or at the domain). The AutoEnroll settings must be enabled within the GPO for computer objects.

Client computers must have Read, Enroll and Autoenroll permissions. Make sure if Autoenroll permissions are granted on certificate template.

Hi,
Please reconfirm the Autoenrollment group policy is configured and applied to the user or machine. Verify the Group Policy settings set the proper registry settings. If Group Policy is configured correctly, the next step is to troubleshoot enrollment.
Autoenrollment requires the use of Version 2 or Version 3 Certificate Templates. Certificate Authorities must be on the appropriate OS Version and edition. The table below outlines OS Version and Edition support for Version 2 and Version 3 certificate templates.
