The following is an overview of the events generated by the Certificate Enrollment Policy (CEP) service in the Windows Event Viewer.
The Certificate Registration Policy Service events are not officially documented. The following list was generated using the Windows Event Log Messages (WELM) tool.
The Certificate Enrollment Web Services (Certificate Enrollment Policy Web Service, CEP, and Certificate Enrollment Web Service, CES) enable the automatic request and renewal of certificates from a certification authority via a Web-based interface. This eliminates the need to contact the certification authority directly via Remote Procedure Call (RPC). For a more detailed description, see the article "Certificate request basics via Certificate Enrollment Web Services (CEP, CES)„.
