W2K3 Adminpak & Certificate Services (W2K Domain)

[Mark Z.]

Hello!

I am experiencing issues while attempting to manage
Certification Authority with an MMC with my XP Pro PC. I
am managing a Windows 2000 Active Directory Domain and I
have the Windows 2003 Adminpak installed on my PC. When I
attempt to connect to my Cert Authority server I get the
following error.

"Certificate Authority snapin cannont be used to manage
previous versions of Certification Authorities. The
specified program requires a new version of Windows.
0X8007047e (WIN32: 1150)"

Does anyone have a workaround/fix for this error? Is
managing a Win 2k Cert Authority possible in XP?

Thanks for your time!

MZ

Hi,

Known issues for the Windows Server 2003 original-released version of
Adminpak.msi

Certification authority
==================
Because of extensive schema changes, you cannot use Windows XP
Professional-based clients to administer Windows 2000-based computers, and
you cannot use Windows 2000-based clients to administer Windows Server
2003-based computers. To administer Windows Server 2003-based computers,
perform remote administration from the console or from a Terminal Services
session on the destination computer, or use Windows 2000-based clients to
manage Windows 2000 Server-based computers and Windows XP-based and Windows
Server 2003 -based clients
