I am studying certificates for my 216 certification. I
think I understand about certificates, how they are
formed, what they contain etc.

What is not explained is how the certificates are
distributed to those who need them. Both within an
enterprise and for users that want to send encrypted
messages over a public internetwork like the Internet.

Any references that explain this aspect of certificates?
 
Certificates can be distributed automatically via Group Policy [machine
certificates], via a request using the MMC certificate snap in, or via
Certificate Web services. Set up your own test CA, it is really easy to
learn that way. Most of the MCSE books are very lacking in security
information. Do your self a big favor and buy the Microsoft Windows Security
Resource Kit for your studies - you will thank me later. --- Steve
