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
