When deploying a CA server, are there any special
considerations to keep in mind to make certain the installation is
successful? Examples include what type of CA server to install or
the network environment.
When deploying a CA server, there are several special
considerations to keep in mind such as ensuring domain name
service is installed and paired with the active directory domain,
as well as making sure the correct roles are added. It is also
important to assign a proper name because the name cannot be
changed later. This makes the process simpler and avoids
needing to recreate the CA server because of a naming issue.

Why is it important to analyze the various characteristics of a
certificate? Why is it important to understand the basic network
functionality of a certificate?
Certificates ensure the authenticity of the information being
received. The various characteristics need to be analyzed very
seriously to ensure they have not been faked or sent using an
unsafe source. Certificates are the foundation to implementing
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) security so knowing the basic
network functionality is essential to ensuring the proper
security methods are being followed.

Why should backing up certificates and certificate services be
considered when deploying a CA server? What is the purpose of
the recovering certificate services? Please explain your
response.
Backing up certificates and certificate services gives a way to
restore the data associated with a certificate authority. The
purpose of recovering certificate services is to ensure database
integrity. If certificates are lost or cannot be verified, data can be
manipulated and resent or could be encrypted without any way
for decryption or authentication for accurate viewing.
