Now that this subject has been brought up, anyone have good instructions to share.
We are retiring our last w2k server which was a d/c and cert authority. I backed up the cert server as per ms, uninstalled cert services, ran dcpromo and then removed DNS. I guess I'll reinstall cert services just in case it is needed over the weekend. I don't think it has enough space to upgrade to 2k3 so I'm kind stuck as to how to proceed. I might try to p2v it and then upgrade to 2k3. What yall think about that idea? Any suggestions appreciated.

My question is if anyone has moved their CA from 2003 to 2008 yet, and if so, have there been any issues. It seems to be as simple as revoking my 2003 certs that are outstanding, uninstalling the 2003 CA, and then installing a CA on a new 2008 DC and letting clients use the new authority. However, having completed my Exchange 2003 to 2007 migration earlier this year, I tend not to believe that these things are as easy in reality as they appear on paper. :-P Thanks for any insight you may be able to give, TVK ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
