Anmerkung
If you used the manual configuration flow to configure the Autoenrollment Server, skip the steps on this page.
The following is a sample output of the ConfigureAES.bat
script to update the policy settings.
Go to the AEServer installation directory and run the following command:
cd .\ConfigureAES
.\ConfigureAES.bat "<AEServerInstallationPath>"
For example: .\ConfigureAES.bat "C:\Program Files\DigiCert\AEServer"
For detailed information, refer to the installation and deployment guide.
C:\Program Files\DigiCert\AEServer\ConfigureAES>.\ConfigureAES.bat "C:\ProgramFiles\DigiCert\AEServer"
This script automates the configuration of DCOM access rights, firewall settings,
and Group Policies required for the DigiCert Autoenrollment Server (AES) to
function properly within your domain environment. It ensures the necessary permissions
are applied to relevant groups and updates the Default Domain Controllers Policy GPO
to enable smooth certificate autoenrollment for users, computers, and domain controllers.
