We have failing hardware in our absolete server that contains the Enterprise CA. I have backed up the certificate authority and registry keys. I have documentation on how to 'move' the CA to another server but the NAME must be the same on the new server. Here's the problem -- we are changing the names. I was wondering if I could remove the broken DC server from the domain. Rename the new server to the broken DC Server's name and restore the CA. Then 'rename' the new server once the Certificate Authority is restored? Or will the CA whig out from the name change? Any help is greatly appreciated. This is Windows 2003 SP2 on a Domain Controller for the existing CA. Moving to a WK3 Sp2 server.
