No RIDs for you (the RODC) !

Says the RID Master FSMO to a RODC. If you recall the RID Master’s sole job is to make sure that duplicate SIDs are not issued by domain controllers. Whenever a DC needs to create a SID, it takes the next available value from its own RID pool to create the SID with a unique value. The default pool size is 500 RIDs. When we run the RID pool test on a RODC, the test skips due to the DC being RODC and not having anything to do with the creation of the new objects.

Here is how the test is supposed to report back with the remaining pool of the allocated RIDs.
