Commented Unassigned: Cannot convert value "ca.example.com" to type "PKI.CertificateServices.CertificateAuthority" [93]

PS PKI 3.1.0

I managed to get some code working beautifully on my Windows 7 SP1 workstation, but it throws an error when I try to run it locally on my Windows Server 2012 R2 standalone root certificate authority. I think I've narrowed it down to the one line below. I'm so close...so close!

It throws an error on server ca.example.com: Windows Server 2012 R2 (domain-joined standalone root CA)

```
Import-Module PsPKI
$CertificateRequestResponse = Submit-CertificateRequest -CertificationAuthority "ca.example.com" -Path "\\fs.example.com\path\to\certificates\CertReq.csr"
Submit-CertificateRequest : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'CertificationAuthority'. Cannot convert value "ca.example.com" to type

$CertificateRequestResponse
```

It works fine on workstation wx.example.com: Windows 7 SP1 (domain-joined workstation with RSAT)

```
Import-Module PsPKI
$CertificateRequestResponse = Submit-CertificateRequest -CertificationAuthority "ca.example.com" -Path "\\fs.example.com\path\to\certificates\CertReq.csr"
$CertificateRequestResponse

Comments: You're definitely onto something! ```Connect-CA``` is now working, but naturally, something else broke. :) Code ``` Function Handle-Error { Param ( [PSObject]$Error ) Process { $Error[0].Exception.InnerException.Message $Error[0].Exception.InnerException.StackTrace } } Write-Host "# Import-Module PsPKI" Try { Import-Module PsPKI } Catch { Handle-Error -Error $Error[0] } Write-Host "# Connect-CA" Try { Connect-CA } Catch { Handle-Error -Error $Error[0] } ``` Output ``` # Import-Module PsPKI Add-Type : Unable to load one or more of the requested types.
