Hi,

We need to decommission a server that running certificate services and
planning on following MS KB889250.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889250

We use the MS Certificate Authority to issue certificates to our domain
controllers; all external facing applications are using DigiCert issued
certificates. Are there any problems we should forsee when we revoke the DC
certificates?

We cannot use the DigiCert certicates on our DC as they are for a different
domain name.

Any help or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ninon
 
RE: Certificate Authority

The domain controllers will complain about this if you let them sit for a
long time -- the expiration period of the certs. Make sure you bring another
enterprise cert up and that the DCs all register with the new AD Integrated
Enterprise CA.

Re: Certificate Authority

Thank you Ryan,

One more question, does it matter if the name of new AD Integrated Enteprise
CA is not the same as the old one? I hope it doesn't has we're very limited
with server hardware.

Thanks again

Ninon

Re: Certificate Authority

No, but you may have to force enrollment if something goes wrong. It doesn't
usually, but it is good to watch to be sure.
