Certificate Server Installation & Migration
Currentently i have one Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edt SP2 Certificate Authority server and one Subortinate CA server. These two servers will be decommisoned soon. Can i install Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Root CA parallaly and migrate the application
server certificates one by one using new certificate server. Please suggest the best approach.
Any problem if i install Windows 2008 R2 Root Certificate CA, while another Root CA running with Windows 2003.

No. You cannot run it in parallel. You can do a migration of the CA certificates, private keys, and database to a new server running Windows Server 2008 R2. This will require the new machine taking over the previous CA account in Active Directory (terminating
the usage of the previous 2003 issuing CA.
There is no problem running a Server 2008 R2 sub CA below a Windows Server 2003 Root CA
