In the first part of the article, we explained the usage purposes of certificate services and the new improvement that comes with Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system. In addition to these, we installed certificate authority server and online provider services. In this part , we will associate the two services with each other and create certificate templates. We will also generate certificates for computers/users and revoke them as well.
