Do you have a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from a device with which you need to create a certificate from a Microsoft Windows Certificate Authority? This is actually pretty straight forward. On a domain machine, launch a command prompt and save the CSR into a file on that machine (CSR.REQ in the example below). Then just use the command:
certreq -submit -attrib "CertificateTemplate:WebServer" CSR.req cert.cer
You’ll get a prompt to select the issuing CA you want to use. Substitute WebServer for whichever template you need to use. You then have your certificate – cert.cer.
