two of several ways to verify:

In administration tools menu, is there an "Active Directory users and
computers"

In administrtive tools, is DNS installed, and if so does it have an _mscds
zone.

If no to either of these items it is not a domain conroller.

There is no tombstone lifetime on local security priciples, so restoring is
not a problem
