, the procedure is different. See Section D.3.6, “Removing a Replica”.
Prerequisites
- Before uninstalling a server that serves as a certificate authority (CA), key recovery authority (KRA), or DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) server, make sure these services are running on another server in the domain.
Warning
Removing the last replica that serves as a CA, KRA, or DNSSEC server can seriously disrupt the Identity Management functionality.
