Automated CA build

[Wayne Harris]

Creating a hands off PKI install.
And Enterprise Root CA.

I need to set the DN to the following.

O=Parent Company
OU=Child Company
C=US

Somehow, i seem to only be able to set the CA's name. not the
Distinguished name. If I build the CA by hand, of course i can type
it in. But the automatic version of this seems to be tricky.

Here is my unattend.inf file:
[components]
certsrv=on
CertSrv_Server=on
CertSrv_Client=on
[Certsrv_Server]
CAType=EnterpriseRoot
CSPProvider="Microsoft Strong Cryptographic Provider"
HashAlgorithm=SHA1
KeyLength=2048
Locality="US"
Name="XYZ Corp Experimental CA R3"
Organization="Parent Corporation"
OrganizationUnit="Child Corp"
SharedFolder=c:\cainstall
UseSharedFolder=Yes
ValidityPeriod=5
ValidityPeriodUnits=Years

Here is my reference:

I am using the following command prompt to launch it.

sysocmgr /i:sysoc.inf /u:c:\cainstall\unattend.inf

Anyone ever set the CA's DN from an unattended install? if so, how?

Is this a Windows Server 2003 CA? If yes then we donot support setting the
DN for unattended setup for Windows Server 2003.
You can do it using the setup UI.
Here is the list of supported unattend.inf options for the CA:
