Hi, Cx has asked me to delete expired certificates from CA. I wish to know if there are any per-requisites or issues users will face if those expired certificates are deleted? FYI...these are EFS certificates. Thanks in advance... - thestriver

I assume you mean clear them from the CA database? If so, this article has some specific command line info for that: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/08/31/the-case-of-the-enormous-ca-database.aspx Cheers JJJason Jones | Forefront MVP | Silversands Ltd | My Blogs: http://blog.msedge.org.uk and http://blog.msfirewall.org.uk

Also, looking to see if clearing those expired certificates would cause any issues to user's files or folders?- thestriver
