How to remove the Certificate Enrollment Web Service role

ad-certificate-serviceswindows-server-2016

I misunderstood the purpose of the Certificate Enrollment Web Service role, and I installed it by mistake during my first configuration of my new Server Essentials 2016 instance.

Now that I've discovered that I don't need it and would rather not have it, I don't seem to be able to remove it.

Note the disabled checkbox:

I tried running the Uninstall-AdcsEnrollmentWebService command, but I received no feedback indicating success or failure; I simply found myself back at the PowerShell command prompt. The checkbox remains disabled.

I've also tried restarting the server, all to no avail.

How can I remove this role?

In server manager click on the 'Manage' menu and select the 'Remove Roles and Features', not add roles, the 'add roles' option doesn't let you de-select roles. remove role
