OS: Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition

How does one determine the CA type that a server is running?

I have tried working with certutil and looking at the Certificates MMC
console and can't figure out if this server is installed as an Enterprise CA
or a Stand-Alone CA. I'm probably missing a very simple step somewhere.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

One method is to try duplicating the computer template. If you can, it's an
Enterprise CA.

Other than that, what is another methodology?

Open the CA mmc and expand.

If there is a Certificate Templates node, I think that means it is an
Enterprise CA.

Thanks.

I noticed that it appears to be one of the only differences on the surface
(I did some test installs in the lab and that was the only item visible on
the surface.)

Thanks for the help and the follow-up.

....I only wish there were another way...

Running this command on the server will give you enough information about
the CA
certutil -cainfo

For specific type information:
certutil -cainfo type
