Hello,

I use Windows Vista Business OEM (genuine). Windows Vista Help has a
statement, that using Certificates snap-in in MMC one can right-click under
"Current User\Personal" folder and select "All Tasks > Request New
Certificate" to request a new certificate and so on.
But it is missed!
Checked with Administrator user, with the user in Administrators group - no
way. I can't find the command and can't make a request to get a new
certificate.

Why it is missed? How to get it?

P.S. Using Windows Vista Business

Is your computer joined to a domain?

Then you will not see it. The option is only available for domain joined
machines. You still can do a custom request using advanced operations.
Then submit the request at the Certification Authority console or the
Certificate Services web page.

I joined my PC to the domain and when I do MMC/Certificate/Personal I do
not see request new certificate. Do I need to turn something on in
order to see Request New Certificate.
