## Deploy an enterprise certification authority
This guide assumes most enterprises have an existing public key infrastructure. Windows Hello for Business depends on an enterprise PKI running the Windows Server *Active Directory Certificate Services* role.\
If you don't have an existing PKI, review [Certification Authority Guidance][PREV-1] to properly design your infrastructure. Then, consult the [Test Lab Guide: Deploying an AD CS Two-Tier PKI Hierarchy][PREV-2] for instructions on how to configure your PKI using the information from your design session.
### Lab-based PKI
The following instructions may be used to deploy simple public key infrastructure that is suitable **for a lab environment**.
Sign in using *Enterprise Administrator* equivalent credentials on a Windows Server where you want the certification authority (CA) installed.
>[!NOTE]
>Never install a certification authority on a domain controller in a production environment.
1. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt
1. Use the following command to install the Active Directory Certificate Services role.
```PowerShell
Add-WindowsFeature Adcs-Cert-Authority -IncludeManagementTools
```
3. Use the following command to configure the CA using a basic certification authority configuration
```PowerShell
Install-AdcsCertificationAuthority
```
