CERTSRV_E_SUBJECT_DIRECTORY_GUID_REQUIRED

CERTSRV_E_SUBJECT_DIRECTORY_GUID_REQUIRED The template requires the Active Directory object GUID in the Subject Alternative Name, but the CA cannot obtain it for the target subject.

What to check

  • Confirm that the request is associated with a valid Active Directory object and not an unresolved or deleted identity.
  • Check directory replication and the CA’s ability to read the required attributes from a domain controller.
  • Verify that the selected template is intended for directory-bound identities and not external or standalone enrollment.
