+1 AD CS is unlikely to put significant load on your environment unless you have to issue several thousand certs in one go. But that would probably be an irregular event. That still makes it hard to justify in a proposal or design document. However you may be able to simulate in a simple test environment if you need performance metrics to justify in a business case or design, Cheers Ken From: activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:activedir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of David Loder Sent: Tuesday, 31 August 2010 10:41 PM To: activedir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] [OT] Need help with Server sizing for AD MS certificate Services If the hardware meets the minimum requirements for running R2, that scale will barely be noticed; unless you try and pulse all the enrollments at once and want them all to succeed without retrying later.

I am trying to implement AD CS on 2008 R2 servers in a failover cluster. However I cannot find any documentation other than general guidelines for 2008 R2 pertaining to HW recommendations. I have the potential of issuing several thousand email, Authenticode, and smartcard certificates in my environment. Does anyone know of a document, calculation, etc explaining the sizing of a AD CS server? I need to order the hardware ASAP. Any help is much appreciated.
