Creating Server Certificates with Microsoft Cloud PKI: Alternatives and Solutions
Are you looking for a way to create server certificates using Microsoft Cloud PKI? Many organizations rely on Microsoft's PKI solutions for certificate management, but there’s a significant limitation: Microsoft Cloud PKI does not support server certificates. By design it only supports Intune managed devices, only.

The Gap in Microsoft Cloud PKI
While Microsoft Cloud PKI is optimized for issuing certificates to endpoints via Intune, it falls short in key areas like:
- Server certificates for secure server communication.
- IoT certificates to secure a wide array of devices.
- Cross-platform MDM support, such as Jamf Pro, Google Workspace, and other third-party solutions.
These limitations create challenges for organizations that need robust, cross-platform Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to secure their modern infrastructure.
