I'm trying to setup PKI/Certificate Services on Windows
Advanced Server 2000. Once set-up, I'd like to know how I
can test it to be running.

The scenario:
We would like to setup PKI having server2 as the
certificate authority. This server runs Windows 2000
Advanced Server.

I have another Windows Advanced Server 2000 (let's calll
it server1) where I have installed DOmino 6...both
servers are on the same network in a peer-to-peer set-up
(using a work group).

Another client PC is running XP. All PCs are located on
the same internal network sharing a common internet
connection shared through a router.

The router issues dynamic IPs (DHCP).

Since I wanted to setup Certificate Services, I was asked
to setup Active Directory Services first which in turn
wanted me to set-up DNS first. I tried installing DNS
through the wizard. While our company has a publicly
known domain which is hosted by a third party, outside of
the site where I'm configuring the new Primary Domain
Controller, I chose a different domain name for the
internal network,say internaldomainname. Unfortunately,
the DNS installation have taken so long and we had to
cancel. Active Directory seem to have been installed,
though. But the installation's task bar never got to
finish causing the server to hang. I've been reviewing
the event viewer and the latest problem.

I'm trying to bring back server2 to the original state
but am encountering DCOM problems which was supposed to
have been disabled (ran dcomconfg; checkbox for default
settings has been unchecked).

Note that RAM of the server is 512KB and running Windows
2000 Advanced Server.

Can you please advise how to go about starting in a more
stable slate and configuring PKI? How can I test if the
Certificate Services have been setup properly?

I'd appreciate any help you can extend.

THanks,

life
