Yes its is located but replaced by another Smaller SAM database
SAM Accounts on a Windows 2000 Server That Becomes a Domain Controller
When you install Active Directory on a computer that is running Windows 2000 Server to create a domain controller, you can either create a new domain or configure the domain controller to contain a copy of an existing domain. In both cases, the existing registry key that contains the SAM database is deleted and is replaced by a new, smaller SAM database. The security principals in this database are used only when the server is started in Directory Services Restore Mode.
The disposition of the security principals in the SAM database on the server is different in each case, as follows:
If you create an additional domain controller in an existing domain, the security accounts in the existing SAM database on the server are deleted. The accounts from the existing domain are replicated to Active Directory on the new domain controller.
If you create a new domain, the security accounts in the existing SAM database are preserved as follows:
User accounts become user objects in Active Directory.
Local groups in the account domain become group objects in Active Directory. The group type indicates a local group.
Built-in local groups become group objects in Active Directory. The group type indicates a built-in local group. These groups retain their constant SIDS and are stored in the Builtin container.

a domain controller (DCO) is a server that responds to security authentication requests (logging in, checking permissions, etc.) within the Windows Server domain
What is RID master?
What is the RID Master role? The RID Master is one of the operations master roles that exist in each domain in a forest. It controls the sequence number for the domain controllers within a domain. It provides a unique sequence of RIDs to each domain controller in a domain. When a domain controller creates a new object, the object is assigned a unique security ID consisting of a combination of a domain SID and a RID. The domain SID is a constant ID, whereas the RID is assigned to each object by the domain controller. The domain controller receives the RIDs from the RID Master. When the domain controller has used all the RIDs provided by the RID Master, it requests the RID Master to issue more RIDs for creating additional objects in the domain. When a domain controller exhausts its pool of RIDs, and the RID Master is unavailable, any new object in the domain cannot be created
Where actually you use meta data cleanup in Active Directory?
Metadata cleanup is used to remove the records and data of an crashed Domain Controller or an unsuccesful demotion of a Domain Controller. It is executed on a working domain controller using ntdsutil.
