AD CS in 2003 AD domain

[Guest Davor Perat]

I am trying to build new PKI based on Windows Server 2008 AD CS.

 

Is it possible to have AD CS on Windows Server 2008 servers in Windows

Server 2003 Active Directory domain? Or do I need to upgrade Active

Directory to 2008 first and then build PKI?

 

Regards,

 

Davor

You would need to apply the Windows Server 2008 schema to your AD.

After that, you can deploy Win2k8 CAs in the environment.

Davor,

You don't need to upgrade the active directory schema to Windows Server

2008 schema for deploying and using Windows Server 2008 Certificate

services.

Thanks

You do if you want to take advantage of all of the improvements that are

offered by Windows 2008 AD CS.

Saurav,

Unless you wish to use Version 3 certificate templates or OCSP with the new

default template.

These are only available when you add the new object type.

There is no requirement for an AD schema upgrade to support V3 template (or

any other W2K8 PKI feature).

Thanks for the clarification Oded.
