Hello everybody!
I'm currently trying to migrate our Root Certification Authority (CA) from Windows Server 2008 (x86) to Windows Server 2016 (x64). I followed the migration guide under https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/canitpro/2014/11/11/step-by-step-migrating-the-active-directory-certificate-service-from-windows-server-2003-to-2012-r2/
for the main steps.
Both old and new CA-Server will be standalone CA-Servers in our domain and will havedifferent hostnames (the CA-Name will stay the same of course).
The migration process works without any error messages. The CA-Service starts without any problems before restoring the CA-Backup.
But as soon as I restore the CA-Backup and try to start the CA-Services again, I receive the following error message:
"Current log file missing 0xc8000210 (ESE: -528 JET_errMissingLogFile)"
The service won't start anymore. The eventlog shows similiar error messages.
I made a procmon-trace to analyse which files the certsrv.exe is looking for and found out, that it's looking for "edb,chk", "edb.jcp" and "edbtmp.log" in the CA-data-folder. Those files are not there (and I don't know why, as I only restored the previous created CA-backup).
Any hints? :)
Thank you!!
