Re: Windows 2000 Certificate server---->2003

Paul,

Thanks for the response. Dan had me worried, I was hoping that wasn't going
to be an attempt to answer my question. Anyway, I was wondering if you could
expand on the 2003 features that I would be missing out on if I went with
2003 standard edition. Thanks in advance.

3Hi, I plan to migrate my existing Windows 2000 physical server running
certificate services (subordinate CA in the forest) to a VM, and then upgrade
the server to Windows 2003 R2. Are there any caveats to an in place upgrade
of this type? I will have to change the ip address, but the name of the
server will stay the same. Is there any problems with this? Also, when I do
the in place upgrade does it automatically detect that certificate services
is installed and upgrade the certificate database without having to do
anything else? Currently, all of 3 DC's in this child domain are Windows
2003. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, as I haven't gone
through an upgrade of this type. Thanks in advance.

Ignore Dan, he tries to insert himself into threads even when he has no
idea what he's talking about, as is the case here.
An in-place upgrade from 2000 to 2003 will work just fine and Certificate
Services will be upgraded along with the rest of the OS bits.
Keep in mind however, that you don't get to take full advantage of all of
the new Certificate Services features in 2003 unless your CA is running the
Enterprise or Datacentre Edition SKU.
