HI have taken over a network build by multiple consultants, so as you
can guest, there is NO documentation.
I have found that there is a Certificate Server install, but I am
unsure on how I can determine if this was installed as an ENTERPRISE
CA or Stand Alone, so my posting.

How can I determine the type of CA that is on the server (the DC of
the domain).

Thanks in advance for all input and pointers to KB articles!

I believe that an Enterprise CA will copy itself into the Trusted Root
Certification Authorities, but a Stand-Alone CA will not.

I am not 100% sure of this and I don't have the time to check up on it right
now unfortunately. Do some searching on MS's site or Google about that topic
and you should be able to confirm my hunch.

You remember correctly. Enterprise CA's are automatically added to the
trusted root however an administrator has to explicitly distribute the
stand-alone CA's certificate to the trusted root.

Run the command "certutil" in a cmd window. This will enumerate all the CAs
in the domain.

Then run "certutil /config "<config string from above command>" /cainfo".
This will identify the CA type.
