Hi there Dave,

thank you for your reply. It is very much appreciated. I would like to apologize for my delayed response.

I confirm that we will go ahead and demote it to member server in the first instance.

I really hope we manage to solve this issue by demoting to member server. At least the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows won't need to deal with disabling DC SafeBoot mode anymore as part of Backing up the Domain Controller.

Regarding the the possibility of standing up a new one for replacement, unfortunately the affected server is a physical box located in a remote site. As a result, I am afraid I might need to try to take a deeper look into the issue (should it persist after the demotion to member server) as it is not so immediate to replace the box.
Kind Regards,

Massimiliano
