Unrevoke a certificate which was revoke with a status different from Certificate Hold

Is there a way to unrevoke a revoked certificate, which was revoked with the “Superseded” reason code?

I'm using the Certification Authority provided with Windows Server 2008 SP2.

  • Once on the revoked list... it stays on the revoked list. That's why they recommend you NEVER revoke a cert unless you know it's been compromised.

    Ondrej Tucny : Well it's not necessarily a matter of compromising a certificate. In my case an employee left the company, his certificate has been revoked with the reason code “Affiliation Change”. Later on, it was discovered we needed to give him access to a certain system. Hence I wanted to unrevoke the certificate… and it can't be done.
