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.
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.
