Windows: AutoEnrollment Event ID 13

Just the other day, my Event Viewer was full of the following error. Since the error didn't go away after a day, I figured I better look into the issue and fix it.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: AutoEnrollment
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13
Date: 01/01/1970
Time: 00:00:00 AM
User: N/A
Computer: FOO
Description:
Automatic certificate enrollment for local system failed to enroll for one Domain Controller certificate (0x80070005). Access is denied.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.


The fix is fairly simple and noted at various pages on the world wide web. Running the following commands should resolve the issue for you:

certutil -setreg SetupStatus -SETUP _DCOM_SECURITY_UPDATED_FLAG
net stop certsvc
net start certsvc


In my case, the "Certificate Services" service on my DC had somehow been removed. Re-adding it and running the commands above resolved the issue.
