should all the i.t employees have the administrator password of the windows server DC to get the job done?

No only people responsible for the server and with authority to grant permissions should have the DC password. This should only be 2 or 3 people in case one sick,on vacation, or otherwise not available. Even then every person should have there OWN login and should use it exclusively so whatever they do can be audited.

Generally domains admins use there authority to create local admin account for IT to use. Either that or they are given there own domain account with PC admin privileges and not domain level permissions.
