- Hello,
Here is an excellent wrap-up, from the old MS PKI blog : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/xdot509/installing-a-two-tier-pki-hierarchy-in-windows-server-2012-wrap-up
Some items listed here are a bit outdated (non-Powershell scripts by example) but nothing serious.
Notice a PKI is one of the most important security components of an infrastructure, if you are new to this you should seek help from a more experienced Microsoft security expert, as PKI requires a lot of tuning and careful design to make it work in an secured way.
