Issue with creating an issuing CA in Cloud PKI
I have activated an trial license for Cloud PKI a couple of days ago.
I follow this guide to create a Root and Issuing CA https://oliverkieselbach.com/2024/03/04/how-to-configure-cloud-pki-certificate-based-wifi-with-intune/
I could create a root certificate successfully, but when i want create an issuing certificate i'm getting this error 'CA failed to be created'
I have waited to a couple of hours to try it again but still no luck.
What can cause this issue and how to solve this?

I solved it but not in a way i was expecting it.
I had configured the root CA validity at 25 years and the Issuing CA at 10 years. That failed.
I now lowered the validity of the issuing CA to 8 years. That worked.
Is there known issue that selected 10 years results in this error?- Humble-IT-GuyCopper Contributor
Thanks for sharing, I was stuck on exactly the same thing.
Lowering the validity of the issuing CA to 8 years did the trick.

Hi, just wanted to leave a comment here to thank you for troubleshooting this! Great work!
Changing from 10 to 8 years on the issuing CA solved it for us as well
Great job with the UI and error messages, Microsoft 😒
