Two-tier AD Certificate Services error importing cert into SubCA
Hello,
I'm new here, but excited about being able to hob nob with all you in furthering our IT goals.
I'm setting up my root and Subordinate CA and I'm importing my rootCA issued, subCA certificate into the subCA.
I get
I get the same error when the subCA automatically exports its cert req to the root Ca and when I do it manually.
I also get this error whether i'm using X.509 or p7b files.
what's unusual about this error is that it seems to be referencing a .req file with a '(1)' added to the end of the title.
Original .req did not have the '(1)'.
any assistance I can get from the community would be appreciated.

Hello bout-IT ,
The error occurs because the certificate you are trying to install does not match the one ADCS expects; you may have submitted the incorrect certificate request file.
You need to resubmit the most recently generated .req file to the CA and obtain a new certificate.
If the issue persists, there may be a mismatch between the certificate store and the registry.
i'm running windows server 2022.
I feel that I may be missing something basic . thank you in advance.
