I am restoreing my CA from a backup with system state and the backup instructions from Microsoft. I have one issue left. The CA came up however the templates are gone. I wanted to know what do i need to copy from the previous CA computer to get these templates back? I am lacking even the basic ones that install with the services.

This is also in my test area the new server has the same name and hardware as the CA server running in production. This is in prep for 2008r2 domain update.

Hi,The certificate templates are stored in Active Directory. Please open the Certificate Templates console (certtmpl.msc) on the CA to check if the certificate templates are there.Thanks.This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I will know today how this works out. I had to restore my AD and fix this for our test lab. I will be doing the restore of the CA today and see if the templates do in fact return. I will keep in touch on this.
