Remarks
Active Directory Certificate Services supports the renewal of a certification authority (CA). Renewal is the issuing of a new certificate for the CA to extend the CA's life beyond the end date of its original certificate.

Each renewal results in a new CA certificate; however, the administrator can either generate a new public/private key pair or reuse the existing public/private key pair for the CA certificate. For consistency and integrity, CA certificates and certificate revocation lists(CRL) issued by the CA before its renewal will be available after the CA has been renewed. To make these available, Certificate Services maintains an index of CA certificates, CRLs, and keys.

When CA server is installed, initial key pair is used and both have zero index. Each time CA certificate is renewed (regardless whether the key pair is changed or not), CA certificate index is incremented sequentially by one. CA private key index is changed only when new key pair is generated during CA certificate renewal and is updated to match CA certificate index.
