    Hi,

    no, you can't cluster CA server with Windows 2003 server. I believe there
    were some solutions on UNISYS...

    For redundancy -- you can set up more then one Enterprise CA. If you set up
    e.g. two -- either of two can issue any certificate based on configured
    templates. Templates are stored in Active Directory so either of two CA
    servers can read them and issue certificates.
