Hello,

thanks for taking the time to answer.

Unfortunatelly i spent hours today on this issue and I really feel dumb.

It's impossible to active to start the subordinate enterprise CA. I always
get the certifiacte chain issue. even when I put the StandAloneRootCA.crt in
the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" of the default domain policy.
the certificate remains untrunsted ( the red x on the icon) although it's in
the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" certificate status says "This CA
Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted root
Certification Authorities Store" ...go figure.

You're still not doing this correctly. You need to add the root
certificate to the local Trusted Root store on the subCA and you also
need to publish it to Active Directory using certutil -dspublish.


In fact I checked Ms PKI stuffs but my problem concerns the activation of
the sub enterprise Ca that fails because of the cert chain.

This is all covered in detail on the Microsoft web site.

Fortunately it was a subject for a Lab, it's a pity it didn't work.

Deploying PKIs is what I do for a living and I can assure you that this
does in fact work.
