Hello,
Since I installed SBS2K3 SP1 I am having a problem with certificates and autoenrollment. Upon trying to update a certificate on a member server, I receive the RPC Server is Unavailable message. This also happens on all other machines in the domain. The big prblem is that the member server certificate expires in 6 days.

Jenny,
I finally called Tech Support and we found out that there is a hotfix out related to RPC Issues in ISA 2004, also there is an "SBS Protected Networks Access Rule" . Rt click it and "configure RPC protocol and uncheck the "Enforce strict RPC compliance". This will allow DCOM to pass.
This in turn fixed the problem completely. Thanks for the assistance and hopefully this will help someone else.
