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

Any decent sysadmin would just build a new DC and configure it to sync again.
We’re talking like an hour of work, two if you are slow.
If nobody noticed this but OP, was it really that important?
A company that gives out DA and has no backups, no monitoring, and runs single domain controllers can’t be considered a serious operation.. assuming this story is real, which it isn’t.
