RID
How do I move the RID role when that server is already
crashed? I want to recover from the loss of the RID master, so I canot move it
since it is not available. Or there is a way to do it?

I always recommend transferring FSMO roles from a box before upgrading it, then
moving it back after the upgrade is completed successfully.
If you've got enough DCs to justify splitting FSMO roles, you've got enough to
move it to another box for a week to upgrade the box.

When the RID flexible single-master operations DC is restored, it may use old
RID pool values, and it can cause the restored RID flexible single-master
operations DC to begin issuing duplicate SIDs.
The best way is:
- to use another DC to seize the RID master role.
- Rebuild the OS on crashed DC and promote it back as Domain Controller
- transfer the RID master role back to the rebuild DC.

Colleagues,
We have a server which crashed during upgrade (2000 to 2003). Now we want
to restore it.
Problem is this server is the RID holder and the documentation on the technet
says

"Restoring the RID Master can result in Active
Directory data corruption, so it is not recommended." So what is the
best way to restore this server?
Thank you in advance for your assistance
