Move Enterprise CA to New Server


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

I have a Windows 2000 Enterprise CA on an old server that I want to

retire. This server is too old to install Windows 2003 so I can't

directly follow the process suggeested by Microsoft to move a CA to

another server.

 

My question is:

 

If I were to install a new CA on a new server and gradually retired

the old server would this have any effect on the domain during this

transition period. The network is relatively simple - 2 x 2003 DC's 30

clients, only manually configured certificate is that used by OWA (So

I would recreate this on the new CA)

 

Any advise appreciated

 

Paul

you do not have to move gradually

you can export the CA certificate (+ all issued client certs) from the

old server and import it into the new server
