In my case as posted earlier I didn't install a stand alone CA, I installed
a root CA for the domain for development purposes. I want to get rid of the
server entirely, and make all domain PC's quit doing ANYTHING with cert's.

In effect I want to revert everything on the domain to just before the root
CA was installed.

How do I do that?
