Hi everyone, I'm after some advice.

We current run certificate services on two domain controllers in our
forest root domain. These domain controllers run Windows 2003 Standard
edition. We currently use them to issue EFS and Domain Controller
certificates.

Now we'd like to extend their use, but some certificate templates are
only available if the Certificate services is installed on Windows
2003 Enterprise edition.

Ideally after our next hardware refresh which is due shortly, We'd
like to reach a situation where the CAs are running on Windows 2003
Enterprise edition.

I understand that Microsoft supports an inplace upgrade of Windows
2003 Standard to Windows 2003 Enterprise edition.

Has anyone run such an upgrade on a DC running certificate services?
If so were the additional certificate templates available once the
upgrade completed?

Assuming that the inplace upgrade is not possible, can anyone advise
how I would go about moving my existing CAs onto new Windows 2003
Enterprise edition servers?

Regds,
