15 TopicsCertificate Authority Revocation issues: CRL db lost in migration
We currently have a CA which was migrated from a retired server no longer available - over 6 months now but they didn't complete the migration, and the revocation database is missing. We're now experiencing issues with certs issued but the former server that it cannot issue renew certs. What is the best approach to this? I can create another CA server but what about the root certificate of the current one? How do you point renew requests to the new server if there is no revocation DB for the already issued certs? What about the current certs issued by the current server if I migrate the current one to a new CA? I do have copies of the system32\certsrv folder and CA backup from the retired server, but this backup was used to migrate the current one which resulted in its current state. Can the revocation db just be imported? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.74Views0likes1CommentDesigning and Implementing a PKI: Part V Disaster Recovery

Hello, We have a 2016 domain controller that is also our Enterprise CA server. We need to retire this server so I've built a server 2022 box, which sole purpose will be for the enterprise CA. while there are plenty of guides with MS and other sources on how to move the CA, I cant seem to find an answer to if the certificate templates are lost when the role is removed from the CA server (in our case a domain controller.) In the MS guide there is the following information: the certificate templates settings are stored in Active Directory. They are not automatically backed up. You must manually configure the certificate templates settings on the new XA to maintain the same set of templates. Does this mean the the new dedicated CA server will be able to see the certificate templates and will be able to add/reissue them? this is a brief summary of our plan. -backup CA config on dc01 -remove the CA role from dc01 -add the CA role to the new CA01 (dedicated CA server/non domain controller) -restore the CA configuration -reissue the templates? -demote and retired dc01 please note we have another 3 domain controllers in the domain.918Views0likes0CommentsCertification Authority not showing up in IIS Server Certificates Dialog

Recently I was following: KB5005413: Mitigating NTLM Relay Attacks on Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) After various changes I got to the point where I could not fully disable NTLM on EnterpriseCA server, because I simply could not login to the MSADCA: Audit NTLM authentication requests within this domain that would be blocked if the security policy Network Security: Restrict NTLM: NTLM authentication in this domain is set to Deny for domain servers or Deny domain accounts to domain servers. But also the changes caused the error while accessing from mmc/certificates An error occurred while obtaining certificate enrollment policy.
