[Certsrv_Client]

Answer File = Unattend.txt

The [Certsrv_Client] section contains entries for the Web client component of Certificate Services. You do not need to include this section in the Unattend.txt file to install the Web client component of Certificate Services on the computer. Enabling Certificate Services in the [Components] section of the answer file installs the necessary files.

The computer saves any entries that you specify and processes them only after you restart to configure the Web client Certificate Services. They do not process during unattended Setup. For more information about configuring Web client Certificate Services and about Web client Certificate Services requirements, see the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit.

Entry Description
CAMachine Specifies the full Domain Name System (DNS) name of the computer with an installed Certification Authority.
CAName Specifies the name of the certification authority (CA).

Comments

The value of this entry is required. You must run Certificate Services on the computer and call it through the Component Object Model (COM).

For an installation of the Web client component, CAMachine and CAName refer to the Certification Authority that the Web enrollment pages work with. For an installation of the server components, these two entries are the attributes for the CA.
