Certificate Templates Question
Hi Dave101,
if you update any property of a certificate template it will be effective for NEW enrollments from this point on (depends a bit on DC replication because the change has to be replicated throughout the domain).
However, existing certificates on systems that have already enrolled a certificate based on this template will not be affected. They will be able to use the certificate until it expires.
At one customer I additionally had to remove the certificate template from the CA configuration and re-add it (New - certificate template to issue; not the template itself!). But from my point of view this should not be necessary.
