Just a quick question regarding CA's on windows2000.

I am currently looking at this for our network but in the labs. This said we
are looking at using the windows2000 one as its the cheapest.

Has anyone actually set up the CA for windows2000?
Are there any 'GOTCHAS' I need to be aware of when using with cisco IOS 12.1
and above?.
Is there a limitation with the size of network you can use it on?

regards Russ
