At this point the root CA is dead as you indicated, so nothing that chains to it actually works. <br />
<br />
There are no real implications, simply complete the cleanups to avoid template mishaps. <br />
<br />
It's already not working, nothing else can be broken by replacing it.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have come upon a domain that has multiple servers complaining of expired domain certificates. &nbsp;Digging in it appears that there was a root CA server that is gone. &nbsp;There are two subordinate CA s in the domain, which of course are now useless.<br />
<br />
It also looks like this issue has been going on for some time. &nbsp;The certificates are months out of date.<br />
<br />
I have not been exposed to this situation without a backup of the root server. &nbsp;How does one go about fixing this?

Rebuild a root CA

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
