Has anyone set up a stand alone lab running windows 2003 with
Microsoft CA. I am trying to set up a lab (first time doing it) and
would like some pointers on the task. I have to servers 2 workstations
and a laptop. Need to figure out how to set the CA up to test the auto
enroll feature and to test user certificates but the lab will not be
connectd to a network.

At a minimum you need:

1. Domain controller.
2. A CA (for a lab you could run this on the DC, not suggested for
production though).
3. A client.

Obviously if you're using separate machines for the above they need to be
connected to each other but they don't require external connectivity.
