Dual Enterprise CAs?

Hello All,

I upgraded our Enterprise CA from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003
Standard and it now refuses to issue certificates. Is it possible to
set up Certificate Services on a 2003 Enterprise box and have both
Enterprise CAs running concurrently? While I can't find documentation
that recommends having two CAs, I can't find anywhere that warns
against it either.

Ideally, the new CA would start issuing certs, which would allow us to
take the original box offline eventually.

We use certificates to validate computers logging on to our wireless
network. Although logging on to wireless is broken at the moment, I'd
hate to make things worse by breaking EFS or the like too.

Any insight or proposed soultions would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Brent
