SYMPTOMS
When you filter the view of certificates in the certification authority Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in and you use the Issued Common Name field for the filtering process, the expected certificates may not be displayed.



CAUSE
This problem can occur because in a certificate that has been created with the default Administrator template, the Issued Common Name field is displayed as &quot;Users Administrator.&quot;

The character between &quot;Users&quot; and &quot;Administrator&quot; is a line-break character that is rendered in the display as a space character.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use the filter process on another field, such as, Requester Name.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
If you attempt to filter the certificates that have been created with the Administrator template, the filtering process may be unsuccessful for each of the following values:
 * Users Administrator
 * Users
 * Administrator
