Windows 2012 R2 SubCA Certificate Renewal
My WIndows 2012 R2 SubCA will be coming up for renewal in the next 30 days and place an renewing it and keeping the existing private key. My question is I place on taking care of this before the current cert expires what will happen to the certs that have already been issued to clients? The certificate chain references the current cert will they still be valid once the current cert expires?
just renew the certificate, only the valid from and to dates will change. when someone looks at your certificate chain they will check that the CA chain has not expired. if you revoke and then create a new certificate then everything underneath it needs to be reissued to be valid

But from my understand when I cert if issued is it both to a root m subca chain and when I cert if renewed its thumb print changes????
yes the thumbprint will change
Is your root CA also going to expire soon?
