Dear collective, I am at a site where somebody has panicked, and all 5 roles have been seized in the last month, and have then been transferred back to the DCs they were previously on. I had thought that certain roles (RID, Schema and possibly Domain Naming) being seized meant you had to wipe

You don't need to re-install windows. Forced demotion (offline) (using out-of-band management solution) and promotion of the DCs is enough with a metadata cleanup before the promotion however as the DCs have already been online you might as well use a normal demotion. After that MAKE SURE all

You can't use it Rocky. You hit the nail on the head with built-in. It has a well known SID (S-1-5-32-555) which has no domain affinity so adding that to a member machine is useless as the member machine would not be able to chase it back to anything. I.E. If you have a forest with 4 domains and

I've seen consultants ask for that level of access before to gain access to the local machine. They reason that because the domain admins are added to the local administrators group that they'll have full access to the machine. They also are not aware of the rights needed to view or otherwise
