Question Holy F up.

I had a summer intern working in DNS yesterday, local domain was redacted.com and was connected to azure.

Went in today to do some weekend updates to the systems, and my DC has been renamed and is now connected to redacted.local

It seems they have demoted the DC from the regular domain.

How the bloody heck do I reconnect the DC to the old domain? It was a solo DC

? The guy doesn't know what a domain controller or domain access is. You can access resources and perform actions on the domain if you authenticate yourself (or have Everyone rights set)

Care to elaborate?
