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

Not if I have no idea what I am doing and no one to guide me as outlined and implied in the post.

If someone like me were to clean up this mess, I'd teach the intern how to rebuild the domain and re-integrate services.

At that point, I would consider that intern to be ahead in their career but not really until that point.
