Hi,

Currently for Root and Sub CA(Enterprise CA installed), my company are
running on Windows 2003 Standard Edition.

Cos management don encourage us to touch our Root CA, therefore
We intend to upgrade ONLY the Sub CA, which is currently running on Windows
2003 Standard Edition to Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition.

Upon installing 2003 Enterprise Edition, is it still possible to
auto-renew/autoenroll(user/client workstation certificate) once Sub CA
running in Enterprise Edt, while Root CA continue to run in 2003 Standard Edt?

Thanks for your attention.

Assuming that your root CA is a standalone, offline CA, upgrading it to
Enterprise Edition would be a waste of a license. There's nothing in
Enterprise Edition that a standalone CA needs.

Yes, but the same rules apply here. XP or above only for autoenrollment
of user certs. XP or above only for autoenrollment of computer certs
based on V2 templates. Windows 2000 clients can continue to use ACRS for
V1 templates for computer certificates.

So if I just upgrade Sub CA, from OS: 2003 Standard Edt to OS: 2003
Enterprise Edt, autorenew/enroll still work? I need to confirm again.
Thanks for your time
