After removing the AD DC role from the SubRootCA server I started having the
following problem.
I cannot select the Certificate Template when submiting a request for a
certificate.
More info...
Our VPN users start the Certificate Enrollment process and create a file.
File in
question is then transfer to the Admin responsible for creating the Certs.
Now when you go to "Submit a Certificate Request or Renewal Request" we have
the option to copy the certificate from the file, however the "Certificate
Template" option where you select "Web Server template" is missing.

This option is available on our EntRootCA, however it is missing on a
SubRootCA.

please help...

I'm answering my own post, as I got my problem resolved. If you ever
experience similar error, here it is how you fix it.
During the process of uninstalling CertCA, then demoting the DC and finally
reinstalling the CertCA Certreq.inc file was updated with following info.
"sServerType="StandAlone" 'vs Enterprise"
That is where the problem was. My CA is an Enterprise not StandAlone.
All I had to do is change the line to
"sServerType="Enterprise" 'vs StandAlone"

Restart the CertCA and you are running with templates available in the GUI
again.
