Standalone or Enterprise CA - what do I have?

Solution 1:

Does this thread help you? Looks like you were on the right track.

Quoting Jediah L. in the previously mentioned thread:

A Standalone will be a root CA that is not subordinated (contains a self-attested certificate), and is not integrated into active directory at all. If it's integrated into active directory you will be publishing the root CA information into active directory and using LDAP as publication and distribution points.

Looks like a lot of good things return with a Google search.

Solution 2:

Either of the following methods should work:

1. Run the certutil command:

   certutil -getreg ca\catype

   The output will tell you whether this is an Enterprise or Standalone CA:

2. Alternatively, you can check for the presence of the Certificate Templates node. If Certificate Templates is present, then this is an Enterprise CA (Standalone CA's don't use templates):
