Environment

Windows Server 2008 sp1 Xeon CPU E5430 @ 2.66 GHz 16.0 GB Ram 64-bit Operating System 1TB Disk Space

Server Role: SQL Server Other Information: Joint to domain, Logged in user domain administrator

Issue

Steps that cause issue:

Create a computer certificate using mmc snap-in 'certificates' by right clicking on 'Certificates' folder Under 'root\Personal' tree, and clicking All Tasks -> Request New Certificate. Certificate Enrollment window appears, you verify you are connected to your network and you are logged onto the domain. Then Click Next, which leads to a window stating the issue:

"Certificate types are not available"

"You cannot request a certificate this time because no certificate types are available. If you need a certificate contact your administrator."

Wanted Solution

Create a certificate on this server, to implement SSL connection to MSSQL servers.
