Перенос windows server 2012 r2 на другое железо

В данном случае это никакой не дочерний домен, а дополнительный (2-й, 3-й, n-й…) контролер (DC) для имеющегося домена.

Передаются не права, а FSMO роли, т.е. новый DC назначается хозяином операций/схемы, а так же: RID, PDC и Infrastructure.

В целом же, Maks, посоветовал верно — настраиваете новый сервер и переносите на него нужные роли (кстати DNS-зоны интегрированы в AD базу):

— ставите ОС на новом сервере
— добавляете этот сервер в имеющийся AD домен
— поднимаете на нём ADDS роль и на этапе настройки, выбираете: Add a domain controller to an existing domain (добавить контроллер домена в имеющийся домен)
— дожидаетесь завершения репликации
— передаёте FSMO роли — RID, PDC и Infrastructure — новому DC
— Назначаете новый DC — Operations и Schema Мастером
— Убирает у всех клиентов из настроек IP DNS старого DC
— Убираете роль ADDS у старого DC

Вот здесь подробно показаны все необходимые этапы:
