To demote a domain controller, again your best option is UnInstall-ADDSDomainController . You need to specify at least the local administrator's password, which is defined as a SecureString . The syntax looks like this:

UnInstall-ADDSDomainController -LocalAdministratorPassword (read-host -prompt "Password" -assecurestring)

The get-help UnInstall-ADDSDomainController cmdlet gives you more information on the command. You can also name, reboot, and add servers to domains in PowerShell. To do this, PowerShell provides the following cmdlets:

Rename-Computer -Name <Computername>

Add-Computer -DomainName <domain name>

Restart-Computer

You can also set up replication in PowerShell. For a list of the available commands, type get-command *adreplication* , and to display help for the cmdlets, use the get-help cmdlet.

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
