Hello Nathan,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, if the new CA server cannot use the old
server name, a quick solution is to rebuild another CA server and then
re-issue the certificates.

Thanks!

|Thanks for your reply Jo,
|
|Currently the CA server is on a DC with all five of our FSMO roles. The
|server is well over due for a hardware upgrade, I have only just started
|working with AD recently and we have a few replication problems with it.
|
|I have tried to transfer the FSMO roles to another domain controller
however
|I get FSMO errors. Microsoft's documentation suggests to force/seize the
|roles on another server, it also says that if you seize the roles to only
do
|it if the master will never become available again.
|
|We only really have a limited number of certificates a few web pages and
|mostly our domain controllers. Would I be able to build another CA server
|and re issue the certificates?
|
|Thanks again,
|Nathan.
