Problem

Seen on a Microsoft Certificate Services server running NDES.

Log Name: Application
Source: Microsoft-Windows-NetworkDeviceEnrollmentService

Description:
The password in the certificate request cannot be verified. It may have been used already. Obtain a new password to submit with this request.

Solution

I got this error every time a network device tried to enroll with the NDES server. You are seeing this error because the NDES server is expecting the password that generated by visiting this url http://{hostname-of-NDES-Server}/Certsrv.mscep_admin.

Normally I disable the password requirement when I build NDES, this time I’d simply forgotten. To disable the password requirement, follow this process.
