Guest PMC1 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 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
