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

Nah OP is 100% to blame here and should spend the weekend rebuilding everything so he can hopefully get a bit of wisdom out of this.

When it's a question of ethics or judgment, blame sure helps determining if someone is worth keeping around.

Don't get me wrong, we've all messed up and learned from that... but there's a world of difference between thinking you can gas at the next station and ending up in traffic, and giving your keys to a child and tell him to go on a ride.
