Modifying settings for the "Demote and remove domain controller from AD" option for Active Directory forest recovery

Specify additional recovery option settings for the Demote and remove domain controller from AD option.

This recovery method is available only when using the Recover AD forest in-place recovery type. It permanently removes a domain controller from the recovered Active Directory environment. Use this method when the original server remains available but the domain controller should not be retained in the recovered forest.
