When you setup the Certification Authority on a Windows server, a certificate for the CA  is created, which will be expired after 5 years (default).  You can extend the CA’s life beyond the end date of its original certificate.   You can renew the CA with the following command: 

certutil -renewCert ReuseKeys (renews the CA with the existing key pair)

or

certutil -renewCert (renews the CA with a new key pair)
