There is no need to move roles in the short term. They don't do
anything until you need to allocate a new RID pool. By then, hopefully
you can successfully seize them.
I think option 3 is the best option. Get that working, as you don't
loose anything by taking this option.
We don't have great tools for removing dead DCs yet (we have tools that
*should* do that, but clearly by reports do not). We need to sort that
out.
Thanks,
