A new Active Directory environment comes with more deployed security delegations than defined in the schema. Several containers - especially the BuiltIn container - have a lot of extra access rules. When deploying a restrictive domain content mode, where these objects fall under management, it becomes necessary to also configure these delegations, lest they be removed. Setting this switch will include all the default delegations in your new context.
