MORE INFORMATION

When a CA is saved, it makes a call to a Windows 2000 function, DsGetSiteName. This call can fail if a subnet is not properly defined.

By default, during a DCPromo operation, there is a default first site and a default subnet. By default, all new and existing domain controllers (DCs) belong to the default subnet. As soon as a second site is created, a subnet must be defined. If a subnet is not defined, the servers may not be linked to the original default subnet, and the DsGetSiteName function does not work, which causes the CA not to be saved, and the error message to be displayed.

Therefore, to save a CA, you must define a subnet, and correctly configure the sites.
