PKI View is no longer a supported way for CA decommission

Thanks to my post http://poweradmin.se/blog/2010/05/08/pkiview-msc-doesnt-say-the-entire-truth and the great, open and quick communication between myself and Microsoft, PKI View is no longer a part of KB889250, which is the step by step guide for CA decommission. I really salute Microsoft for listening to the communities (such as blogs ;) ) and removes references in KB’s that have unexpected behaviors and may cause confusion for people! Kudos to you guys! ;)

 

I guess it is back to hardcore, old school stuff again with ldifde.exe, dssite.msc and adsiedit.msc when it comes to CA decommissions, which is just fine with me! :D

 

Who knows? Maybe two guys will make a very nice PowerShell based GUI for managing the Public Key Services container using the Cmd-Lets for Active Directory in Windows Server 2008 R2? Time will tell… ;)
