In this blog posting I will cover installing a Root Certification Authority with PowerShell in Windows Server 2012. With this Blog Series I am not going to get into the details of best practices. In other words I am not going to get into the “Why?” of the configuration decisions I have made. In some future blog posts I will talk about best practices. For now I am just going to cover installing the Roles and Role Services.

In this article I will talk about the steps required to install a standalone Root Certification Authority with PowerShell. In this article I will not performing the post-configuration, I will however, cover that in a follow up blog.

Over the next couple weeks I will be updating my blog (http://blogs.technet.com/b/xdot509/) with several Windows Server 2012 PKI related posts. In the meantime see (http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831373.aspx) for Windows Server 12 PKI related information. Also, here is a recent blog posting on "Group Protected EFX" (http://blogs.technet.com/b/pki/archive/2012/10/08/group-protected-pfx.aspx), which is a new feature in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

This is a blog entry that I worked on for the ASKDS blog a couple years back. Since it was never posted there I am posting it here. I am going to cover troubleshooting autoenrollment. I will first cover how Autoenrollment work in Windows XP and Windows Vista. I will then cover a defined step by step process for troubleshooting Autoenrollment.
