Select between v2 and v3 certificate template W2K8 CA
Hi
I am currently running a CA in Windows 2008 enterprise. I need to be able to select between version 2 and version 3 certificates. When I duplicate a certificate template, it makes me select between CA in Windows 2003 or CA in Windows 2008. I duplicated a
template in both versions but certificates issued with that template are still showing V3 in their properties window.
I need to be able to select between version 2 and version 3 certificates

You have a little misconception. Windows CA always issue V3 certificates (since Windows 2000). But certificate template version is not the same as certificate version. Template version determine only what you can do with this template (modify — V2,
use CNG — V3).http://en-us.sysadmins.lv

When you right-click a certificate template and select Duplicate template,
you are offered a choice between a 2003 or a 2008 template. The 2003
template is a V2 template, the 2008 template is a V3 template.
Note that both V2 and V3 templates will generate a V3 certificate.
