Didn't see this one! Needed some more information about a case by one of my customers. Thanks!

Great video, although I'd install the root CA as a standalone server, issue the certificate, export it to a pfx file, turn off the root CA server, disconnect the server physically from any network, power outlet, and turn it on only whe it is time to renew the certificate. I would then manually import the root certificate into the issuing CA, which can be on an AD environment.

While I now have a better idea on MS Certificates, I remember I had no idea of what it was really and the necessity behind it with English being my third language. I am hereby suggesting that the basic who, what, when, how, and why questions are answered in each IT training video to amplify easy comprehension of the subject matter. Often times a lot can be said in the presentation, and yet the viewer is still left confused as to what is the real function and why this topic is needed in the first place. I know this is simply the result of cultural or linguistic assumptions, but an awareness of this will make these magnific video presentations even more useful and to more people....

Active directory certificate Portal

Hi Andy, Watching your videos on KZread and wanna say big thanks to you for job you're doing here, I really appreciate this. I'm just wondering if you're planning create video regarding Microsoft EFS in a Microsoft domain environment? I'm starting to implement EFS in a domain due to some restricted files where even domain administrator shouldn't have access, and for Recovery agent should be chosen regular user let's say Security supervisor. I think this topic could be interesting not only for my organization.

Although basics, template duplication, customising and issuing certificate from a member server should have ideally been covered. Export import of certificate I feel deviated topic to securing web urls over IIS where maybe focus could have rather been on certificate templates and issuance

Typically the public cert you purchased is from a public provider. They are the certificate authority here. If you create your own cert authority, in Azure you would need to copy the cert to every users device in the company. So no these are separate.

Friend, in advance, magnificent work! I have a difficulty. I configured the certificate in AD CS and would like to apply it for S/MIME in Outlook.

I really liked every videos on Windows server AD management so far, but this one threw me off a bit. I keep hearing the word 'certificate' but I don't get about who or what purposes they address in all of those steps. It would have been nice to have a small recap on how certificates and certificates CA work, I think ! Good work nonetheless !

How did you create certificate? you selected .....later and then in configuring the second role you showed that it is already created and you selected it. your speech does not match what is being done in the video

@6:46 - It's a ROOT Certificate, so you do want it to last a very long time, normally 10-years. use templates to issue short live Certificates. @13:12 - that's the RootCA certificate, it's already installed, so no need to install it again, but you need to install in on all the domain pc via GP or manually.
