Good morning!
When you demote a Domain Controller the dcpromo process will indeed transfer
any roles that the 'being demoted' DC might hold to another Domain
Controller ( assuming that there is another Domain Controller and that it
can find and bind to it ). So, technically - do you need to transfer
manually? Absolutely not. But, as Paul so aptly stated, you will probably
want to so that you can control this.
HTH,
Cary
