CERTSRV_E_SUBJECT_DNS_REQUIRED

CERTSRV_E_SUBJECT_DNS_REQUIRED The template requires a DNS name in the Subject Alternative Name, but the CA cannot obtain an appropriate DNS value for the subject.

What to check

Verify the target computer account and its DNS-related directory attributes, plus DNS registration and replication.
Confirm whether the template derives the SAN from Active Directory or requires the requester to supply it.
Do not put an arbitrary DNS name into a request; the name must represent a service identity that the requester is authorized to claim.
