Windows 2000 Certificate Services and Public Key Infrastructure |
Windows 2000 Certificate Services stores pending requests in the Pending Request queue. For enterprise CAs, requests are processed automatically and the request is either approved or denied. By default, for stand-alone CAs, certificate requests are stored in the Pending Request queue for review by a CA administrator. You can use the Certification Authority console to review pending requests and either approve or deny the request. Approved requests are issued by the CA.

The CA issues the certificate.
To use the Certification Authority console to deny a certificate request
