In-place migration Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 Certification Authority



I migrated a couple of machine from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012. Greatly it was working well also for remote machines and even a remote access server came back after a while and I could dial in again (Note: I had a SSH connection to the host for backup to get in - I am not that brave.)

Last migration I did was a CA and after migrating I could request certificates and I saw new CRLs. So all is good. Almost, I could not see the MMC for certificate templates and the certification authority.
I had to manually install them first.



or take the shortcut:

c:\>dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:CertificateServicesManagementTools

Small thing but good to know.
