For a more detailed description, see the article "Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES) Basics„.

Description
The event usually occurs together with the event "The Network Device Enrollment Service cannot be started" on.
For possible causes, see the article "Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES) logs error message "The Network Device Enrollment Service cannot be started (0x80004005). Unspecified error".„.
Safety assessment
The security assessment is based on the three dimensions of confidentiality, integrity and availability.
If this event occurs, there is usually no breach of confidentiality, but availability is affected because no certificates can be requested through the interface.
