Serial/Thumbprint of Certificate attached to CA?

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is possible to find out the
Serial # and/or thumbprint of the certificate that is associated with a
Certification Authority. The problem is we have multiple certificates with
the same name, and since there is a problem with the certificate I get an
"access denied" when I attempt to access it through the CA properties. I
have tried to back up the CA but always get an error, perhaps associated
with the "acess denied" to the certificate itself.

If anyone could adivse on this I would be most appreciative.

Thanks!
 
Use the mmc snapin for certificates for user or computer on any computer
that trusts the CA [usually any AD domain computer for an Enterprise CA]
including the CA itself and look in the trusted root certification
authorities for the certificate and you can find the info you need in the
details page of the certificate. You can also check the computer store and
look in the personal/certificates folder to see the certificates for the CA
itself. I am sure there are other ways but that is one that comes to
nd. --- Steve
 
Yes, I have tried that, the only problem is since we have multiple
certificates with the same name there is no way to tell which one is the one
definitive certificate attached to the CA. Is there a way to determine the
serial/thumbprint?

Try logging onto the CA as an administrator and run the command. Certutil -
ca.crt c:\caname.cer to see if that dumps the certificate for you. ---

Oops. That should be Certutil -ca.cert c:\caname.cer . --- Steve
