Passed 70-214 yesterday, with a score of 878, not to bad, my weakness was
PKI & certificate issuing, which I though I was ok on. Will be reviewing
that topic before I take 70-218 after Christmas!

Congrats. There is not a lot of info on W2K PKI. There is tons of it for
W2003 and MOST will apply if you remember that type two certificate
templates only apply to Windows 2003 Enterprise Server CA. Otherwise the
links below may help.

Other key points.

-- Only enterprise CA can issue smart card certificates.
-- Enterprise CA can only be installed on domain computers.
-- User can request certificate through mmc only if the are a domain me in
a domain with an enterprise CA.
-- Stand alone CA's only allow users to enroll through Web Enrollment.
-- User needs read and enroll permissions to certificate template to get a
certificate.
-- L2tp requires machine certificate on VPN client and VPN server.
-- Certificate templates are managed through AD Sites and Services but you
need to select view for services.
-- The issuing CA's certificate needs to be in a computer's local
certificate store for "trusted root certificates"
before it will trust certificates presented to it from that CA.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the info, it's given me some good bedtime reading! I hear there
is a 3 day course on PKI, which I might try and get my company to send me
on. I also have a few books, but it's trying to find the time to read them.

I believe some of the questions I got wrong were based around who should
have a certificate when trying to secure communications i.e. how do you
secure the accounts web server - install a certificate on the web server,
install a certificate on the accountants PC, or issue a certificate to the
accountant user

Can't remember which I said now, think I changed my answer when I went back
and reviewed the questions.

Anyway, many thanks for your help!

Ben

OK Ben. Good luck!

To enable ssl that will encrypt all web traffic to that server via https you
only need a certificate/private key on the web server, kind of like when you
go to Amazon or such and order something and see that it is a secure
connection. --- Steve
