Hello all,

First off thanks to anyone that responds to this post.

I installed a MS CA on a W2k3 DC to facilitate an Exchange 2000/2003
migration. (Temporary SSL cert for OWA while working out the bugs of my
configuration of the new server while my production email server was
running) I'm through with my migration and need to reallocate the hardward
that the CA is installed on. I noticed in the CA console that all my DC's in
all my domains and the domain admin, and 2 users have been issued
certificates.

My question is if i uninstall the CA(With no intent to reinstall the CA),
demote the DC to a member server, and finally wipe the box, will this have
any ramifications on my DC's or network?

I'm not sure why my DC's have been issued a cert but figured it has
something todo with the domain security.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
