Post CA Migration Questions
Just a bit of grey area for me surrounding this process. I just wanted to get a few things cleared up.
I'm migrating our Online Enterprise Root CA to a Stand Alone Offline Root (Different server name) with Subordinate Enterprise CA.
- Post Migration I'm wondering if I need to publish AIA and CDP locations to the old locations? Or can I specify new locations and re-enroll all cert holders?
Thanks to Vadims for giving me a solution to one of the problems I was having here :

- Are there any other registry changes I need to be making post migration? Aside from the ones listed in the migration guide? Here's what the guide states for registry entries that need to be migrated:
Registry location
Configuration parameter
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\certsvc\Configuration
LDAPFlags
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\certsvc\Configuration\CAname

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\certsvc\Configuration\CAname\ExitModules\CertificateAuthority_MicrosoftDefault.Exit
PublishCertFlags
