Hi,<br />
i've a offline root ca and a suboridnate ca based on Server 2008.<br />
Now i want to remove the whole pki, so that i can install it fresh.<br />
I've already found this guide here: <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889250/en-us" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889250/en-us</a><br />
But when i try to follow step 5 and view the installed keys with the command certutil -key.<br />
I don't see this key which i need to uninstall.<br />
<br />
Further i've found the note, that all certificate needs to be revoked....also the root certificate on the offline ca? How does the suboridnate recognize that?<br />
<br />
What i've done so far is...all the steps till step 4 (but all steps on the subordinate)<br />
<br />
What to do now? I want a clean Active Directory after this....<br />
<br />
Thanks
