FRS to Dfsr migration with disabled replication

One of my domain controllers is in a secured location where the replication has been limited - repadmin /replsum throws up a bunch of errors so I can’t move forward on the dfsr migration. Is there a way to completely disable replication to that dc and for dfsrmig from there? Would that even be a smart practice/idea? What about a dc demotion add an rodc and then dfsrmig.

I know the best idea is to fix the replication limitation errors but I’m getting pushback and would like to explore alternatives.

Thanks.

Looks like this one is now closed? (answer accepted) If so I'd suggest starting a new thread if further assistance were needed.
