HOWTO: Installing Microsoft Certificate Services

Have you ever installed Microsoft Certificate Services?
 
Certificate Services is immensely powerful and it’s funny most people don’t know what Certificate Services provide.  Remember that Cert Services and PKI are the centerpiece of the following technologies:
– Wireless 802.11b/g Encryption (802.1x)
– File System Encryption (EFS)
– VBScript/JScript Signing
– Office Document Signing
– Smartcard authentication
– Web-based SSL-encryption
– Email encryption (S-MIME)
 
Yep.  Microsoft Certificate Services enables ALL OF THIS.  No joke.  It’s that important.
