root ca/subordinate ca

[RickyVene]

Is it possible to have a root CA standalone and then subordinate CA as
enterprise?

If that is possible, is the recovery on certificates still possible on the
enterprise level? I know that if you are using 2003 standard with CA you
don't have this feature.

Thanks,
Ricky

Of course. In fact, for a two tier deployment, that is the recommended
configuration.

Yes, assuming you're talking about private key recovery here.
