    Hi Erik,

    Yes, the new server must have the same name as the outdated server because
    the server name information is part of the Authority Information Access
    (AIA) and CRL distribution point paths of all previously issued
    certificates. In addition, the database and log-file paths must be the same
    on both the new and outdated servers.

    You can try these steps.

    Upgrade Windows 2000 DC to Windows Server 2003
    Backup the Certification Authority Keys and Database
    Demote the Windows 2003 DC
    Install a new Windows 2003 DC using the original name and promote it to a
    DC
    Restore the Certification Authority Keys and Database

    Wish it helps.
