Migrate AD certificate services from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2019/2022

Hi Everyone,

I have found many docs about migrating AD certificate services from W2K8 to W2K19.

Is W2K22 a possible upgrade path?
If not, can you guys suggest a great or better guide than these ones?
Any gotchas that I should be looking out for?

I wouldn't use guides you referenced, because they don't cover all migration scenarios and implications. There is an official, the most complete ADCS migration guide you should carefully read and follow: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/dn486797(v=ws.11). Although it is for Windows Server 2012 R2, same principles apply to Windows Server 2022, nothing was changed since then regarding migration.

Hi @Vadims Podāns

Thanks for the speedy reply.

To confirm, I can use your guide to migrate from W2K8 server to W2K22?

Is there a documented upgrade path for ADCS?

thanks 🙏

I'm not aware of any official document with such information.
