To save certsrv.msc correctly: - run "mmc.exe /certsrv_saveconsole" - add CA snapin - when prompted to select the computer, check the box "Allow the selected computer to be changed..." - expand nodes so that revoked/issued/pending nodes are visible - right click on your CA node and select "New Window from Here" - close the original window and maximize the newly opened one - if necessary move the divider so that node texts in scope pane are fully visible - open file/options - change title to "Certification Authority" - change icon using certmmc.dll (computer+certificate icon) - select "User mode - limited access single window" console mode - check all optional check boxes including "Do not save changes to this console" - apply, close and save console
