Afraid there is no conversion process. The simplest may be to demote, reboot, promo them again.

Hi All,
I have multiple AD DS that is also running as Global Catalog and AD-integrated DNS in my single AD forest running Windows Server 2016.
What are the steps and the procedure to convert all of them into read-only domain controllers (RODC)?
There are about 60 of them and I just wanted to keep 2 of them as a normal DC/GC while the rest can be RODC to simplify the Replication and speed up DC synchronization.
Thanks.

what about the DNS server when the DC is becoming RODC?
will that function still be working as normal or not anymore.
