If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options OK. If you are going to create a subordinate issuing CA be sure to configure
the certificate templates so that only the CA you want is issuing
certificates to the computers/users that need the new issued by field. You
can configure which certificate templates a CA will issue in the Certificate
Authority Management Console mmc snapin and selecting which CA to
manage. --- Steve
