    Hi

    Is domain membership required for the server hosting the NDES role i.e when placing the server is a DMZ? I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise.

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    This depends on the NDES deployment scenarios: enterprise and standalone.

    For Enterprise NDES deployments, NDES needs to be installed on a domain member web server and configured to use an enterprise CA for certificate enrollment and certificate query operations.

    For Standalone NDES deployments, NDES is installed on the same computer as a standalone root CA.

    For more information, please refer to:

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Hi;

    So according to Bruce-Liu's reply, in a DMZ environment, its better to use Stand-alone scenario, because of its reduced attach surface and then harden the server with security features like Security Configuration Wizard and also enable SSL on the /mscep_admin.
