When I started looking at decommissioning the ADCS role, I noticed that an EFS certificate had been issued to my domain user account. We all know that unbinding ADDS and ADCS can be a bit of a bore which is why nobody in the age of virtualization should be installing ADDS and ADCS on a single server together but that’s by the by. This server was originally installed using Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials and since, I have performed a Standard edition, edition upgrade on the machine which means that the host has ADDS, ADCS, NPS and some other roles installed as part of the original Essentials server installation. At home last week, I started doing some preparations for upgrading my home server from Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2016.
