Hi, I have an issue installing AD CS service. I made a mistake deleting a CA certificate, and now i need to add it to the right store, so that I can select it when running AD CS installation Winzard. The private key is still available, is there anyway to add the certificate so that I can install AD CS by selecting "Use en existing private key and the associate certificate "? Thanks for helping.

If the private key is still in the computer store, just import the certificate again and check if the system reports that the cert has a private key otherwise you need to run the certutil -repairstore after the import to reestablish the connection between the key and the certificate. /Hasain

Hi, I tried to tips. Now the certificat is associated to the private key. But still it does not appear in the list of available certificate when installing AD CS Services. Thanks for helping

It works finally. I just had to specify the CSP when repairing the store. Thanks for helping!
