Certificate Authority.

[Guest Biglifter550]

Hi All,

 

Here's the situation. I'm in the process of installing 2 new DC's. I have

one new Win2k3 dc installed. I ran forest prep and domian prep. DC promoed

the new machine.

 

I now want to remove active directory from the two old windows 2k machines

and just have them as member servers. One of the servers was a win2k domain

controller that has Cerificate Authorities installed on it. When i run

DCpromo to remove active directory, i get the error that AD can't be removed

without removing certificate services.

 

I still need certificate services to run on this machine but do not want it

to be a domain controller.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
