    Existing Root CA -> New Root / Sub CA Hierarchy

    Hi NG,

    i have a problem with installing a new root / sub ca hierarchy while there
    is already an existing root ca.



    background:
    i´ve installed a active directory integrated root ca for several small
    reasons. now that thing is growing and i wanna to get that thing on for the
    future (backup reasons, flexibility, fault tolerance...). so i decided to to
    setup a independet root ca und two active directory integrated sub ca´s.

    problem:
    i installed the independent root ca - so far so good. now i try to setup the
    first sub ca. the problem now is that he´s not asking which root ca he
    should choose, he´s just choosing the old exisiting active directory root
    ca. and there´s no chance to choose the ne independent one.

    question:
    is there a way that i can choose the root ca? i don´t want to uninstall the
    old one an install the new hierarchy in a weekend operation. but if i have
    to, will it work? any experience?

    any help is really appreciated!

    thanks!

    regards,

    manuel
