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

- No issuance of certificates based on version 2 certificate templates = no customized certificates-
- No key archival and recovery
- No autoenrollment of user certificates for deployment
- Can only issue version 1 certificates using Automatic Certificate Request Services for computer certificates

To be honest, you pretty much gain nothing moving from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 if you do not run on Enterprise or Data Center Edition SKUs.
The only thing you gain is newer bits

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.

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.
