AD CS Database Availability

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

The certfication authority (CA) database records all certificate transactions, including requests, the requester, and whether the request was granted or denied; information for the issued certificate, such as the private key, serial number, and expiration date; and information about revoked certificates. Problems accessing a CA database can prevent a CA from starting and functioning properly.
