    Out Root CA is going to expire in another 2 months. Can some one please guide me on the process and pre-cautions that I need to take?

    We have a Root CA and one subordinate CA in our environment.

    I am aware of the below steps;

    To renew certificate, logon to root CA server, right click on CA, and All Taks, Click on Renew certificate. Question is

    Should I renew with new pair of key ? if so why and what is the impact on existing enviornment

    Should I use renew with existing key?

    Once Root CA is renewed, do I just login to subordinate CA and renew Subordinate Certicate? or is their any other process/ checks that I need to?

    I have collected information where and all certificate issued by Root CA need to be manually updated.

    Is there any other things that I am not aware of, please guide me

    Please dont hesitate ask me if this information is not sufficient/ clear.


    Mahesh
