To delete a certificate template
- Open Certificate Templates
- Right-click the template, and then click Delete.
Caution
- When you delete a certificate template, certificates can no longer be issued based on it. If you are using Enterprise CAs, this will affect all CAs in the forest. Certificate templates cannot be recovered once they are deleted.
Notes
- To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Enterprise Admins
group or the root domain's Domain Admins
group in Active Directory. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.
- To open Certificate Templates, click Start, click Run, type certtmpl.msc, and then press Enter.
