Restore Certificate Server from tape

[Leus]

Hello all,

I want to restore the Windows 2000 Certificate Server from tape.
Unfortunately I can not restore the server on the same hardware. So
what I want to do is setup a new server from scratch and copy
different files from the backup tape to the new server. The problem is
that I don't know where Windows 2000 (SP3) stores the private key of
the Cert Server. Does anybody have a clew?

Thanks,

Mac

You need to do a full system state restore. The CA uses a provate key
stored in the SYSTEM profile. So you need to restore all the profiles of
the system. I recommend using system state backup and restore to do this.
