CERTSRV_E_DOWNLEVEL_DC_SSL_OR_UPGRADE

CERTSRV_E_DOWNLEVEL_DC_SSL_OR_UPGRADE The CA contacted a domain controller that cannot meet the signed LDAP requirement used by Certificate Services. AD CS needs a supported domain-controller path or SSL for directory access.

What to check

  • Identify the domain controller selected by the CA and verify its operating system, LDAP configuration, and connectivity.
  • Check directory replication and DNS so the CA does not select an obsolete or incorrectly configured controller.
  • Use a supported upgrade or LDAPS configuration path; do not weaken LDAP-signing security controls as a workaround.
