If you need to restore a CA database is that an authorative or non-authorative restore on a DC ??

Authorative? I have no idea why I'm saying that though!

 

Non auth..., AD is not involved

 

It would depend whether the CA is a Standalone Root/Subordinate or Enterprise Root/Subordinate. If it is a standalone then that is where AD is not involved, but if it is an Enterprise CA the AD is required.

I'm sure i've read that it is authoritative, but i just can't remember where.
