CERTSRV_E_NO_CAADMIN_DEFINED

CERTSRV_E_NO_CAADMIN_DEFINED The CA has no security principal with permission to manage it. This is a configuration and recoverability problem at the CA level.

What to check

  • Inspect the CA Security tab with an account that retains local or domain authority to recover the configuration.
  • Assign CA management permission to a controlled administrative group and document the emergency-access procedure.
  • Review whether an accidental ACL change, migration, or restored security descriptor removed all CA administrators.
