We'd like to move our Enterprise CA to a new server. Reading through kb
article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/298138, I noticed it
states, in step 5 for Windows 2003:

"Rename the old server, or permanently disconnect it from the network."

What are the ramification if we don't rename it? Are there hooks into AD
that will get into trouble if we don't?

RE: Moving our Enterprise CA to a new Server

Hi Sandy Wood,

The answer it's a note from step 6 that says:
Note: The new server must have the same computer name as the old server

Have a nice day!

RE: Moving our Enterprise CA to a new Server

Oh, I see. So the only way to move the Enterprise CA is to another system
with the same name? There doesn't appear to be a way to move it to another
server with a different name then I guess.

Thanks for the info. This will save me a lot of grief!
