Hi,
Looking for steps/guide to follow to cleanup old certificate authority references
as server containing CA role was removed completely without following a proper decommission process and a new PKI environment was created (root CA and subordinate setup)
hence references of old CA still exist in the environment when new certificate is requested also same can be viewed after executing "certutil –config – -ping" with two CA names (old and new)
thanks in advance!

Hi,
Since the CA role was already removed , you can refer to the steps from step 6 to do a ca reference cleanup.
