Unable to configure or remove the AD CS role.

Hello everyone,

yesterday I added the Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) role to one of my servers, however, when I tried to configure the settings I was greeted by an Error. "Value does not fall within the expected range."

This resulted in me being unable to continue with the configuration. I then proceeded to install the latest updates and restarting the server. The configuration would still just show the error and stay unusable.

I then tried if I could just remove the role and add it again, however, I was greeted with the same error when trying to remove the role.

I then went to see if I could just configure the AD CS manually without the wizard, but after starting the Certification Authority tool via the Server Manager I was greeted with a new Error. "Cannot manage Active Directory Certificate Services. The system cannot find the file specified. 0x80070002 (WIN32: 2 ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)".

After looking around the web I could find some people fighting this error code, but none of them had a problem similar to mine.


My question is now, if there is a way to "forcefully" remove the role to reapply it again or if there is a way to "repair" the role so it would be configurable again.

Thanks in advance.
