What are your plans for the AD CS role?

Hi. There are no significant announcements for Windows Server vNext AD Certificate Services role. Right now the headline is Intune PKI https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-intune-blog/microsoft-cloud-pki-launches-as-a-new-addition-to-the-microsoft/ba-p/3982830- Karl-WEJan 30, 2024MVPWhat could be helpful is a WAC extension Ned. AD CS MMC isn't playing nice when managing one that has hundreds of certs. (Performance / UX). Sometimes MMC may crash or cause unexpected behaviour like bulk selection and cease operation of certs. Generally housekeeping could be improved in a WAC extension. The existing one for local certs is really promising.

WAC probably wouldn't be better, but I hear you, and have some initial plans in this space. For managing hundreds (and thousands) of certs I usually point to CERTUTIL and the powershell, tbh.
