The values for the parameters CRL*** and CRL***Units must be switched.

In the book :
CRLPeriod=3
CRLPeriodUnits=days
CRLOverlapPeriod=4
CRLOverlapPeriodUnits=hours
CRLDeltaPeriod=12
CRLDeltaPeriodUnits=hours

To make it work, must be replaced by :
CRLPeriod=days
CRLPeriodUnits=3
CRLOverlapPeriod=hours
CRLOverlapPeriodUnits=4
CRLDeltaPeriod=hours
CRLDeltaPeriodUnits=12

2. At a command prompt, type certutil -policy to create the certificate request file that enforces all the cross certification conditions defined in the Policy.inf file.

The certutil command cannot be used to create the certificate request file even -policy is a wrong argument.

The correct command is: certreq

This must be read:

2. At a command prompt, type certreq -policy to create the certificate request file that enforces all the cross certification conditions defined in the Policy.inf file.
