Secure AD comm with SSL - interrupt service?

I need to secure AD comm. with SSL. If I install/configure my own CA on my
domain controller and get the certficate created, issued, and installed will
this have any impact or interrupt regular AD services? I just don't want
users to not be able to login for some reason. I have 4 domain controllers.

Mike - refer to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc784450.aspx (in
particular, the section discussing increased processor load).

Good to know about processor load, but I'm more concerned with regular
authentication. Will any authentication or other AD services be interrupted
or changed when I install the Enterprise CA Root and create a cert for my
domain?

No - the availability of standard authentication mechanisms should not be
affected...

Shouldn't be an issue. You may have to reboot after the install (I don't
recall) but won't impact users not being able to authenticate, there will be
no interruption of service.
