Hello NG,

i have the problem that i must roll out some new certificates to a
high number of workplaces. In this rollout i also have to delete the
old certificates on the clients.


The only thing i read was about deletion of certs being in a CRL, but
that isn=B4t a really adequate solution for me.


Maybe someone of you got some suggestions ?


Many thanks in advance
Frett

First question,
Do you know what certificates you are deleting. You do not want to
haphazardly start deleting certificates if they are encryption certficates,
as you are potentially preventing decryption of existing files.
Depending on you you are deploying the certificates, you could supercede the
previous certificate templates. This will remove the certificates from the
active display, but archive the certificates for future use (if needed).
