CA cannot process cert request

I was not able to request a cert directly from a w2k3 server CA so I used the
option to prepare and send later. I was able to generate a CSR but when i
submit to CA, i get following error:

" the request contains no certificate template information. 0x80094801
(-2146875391) denied by policy module 0x80094801. the request does not
contain a certificate template extension or the certificate template request
attribute."

Some background detail: i have an autoenrollment policy to auto issue certs
to computers but the CA wouldn't issue one to this winXP computer which is
why I tried the CSR option.

Anybody with idea(s) on what the problem might be or troubleshooting steps.
I have been checking this newsgroup but haven't found anything that addresses
my problem.

Thanks.

Hello,
When submitting the certificate request file to the CA, what certificate
template did you choose? It appears from the error message that either you
chose the wrong template or you don't have permissions on the template.
Have you tried submitting the request when browsing the certsrv virtual
directory locally on the CA server (using http://localhost/certsrv) and
does that show the same behavior?
Let me know how it goes.
