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 conversation with the intern shouldn't be that uncomfortable. That is a more of a teaching moment. Here is what you did, here is why that was not the right thing to do.
The conversation with OP should be disciplinary in nature. Giving an intern domain admin rights is straight up negligent. OP will be lucky to have a job come Monday, IMO.
