anything they want to it.

We have a group Domain Server Operators and we need to give them admin
rights
to domain controllers to restart services, install software and etc. But
they
should not have rights to Active directory

I need to give admin access to domain controllers for a certain domain
group
but without accessing Active directory.
Any options?

It is possible if you limit them AD acces by delegating them read only
acces in AD.
You can do this with Active administrator:

This will allow them rights on the DC, but limit there rights to AD.

Of course you can lock yourself out of AD. I've seen it happen all the
time.
