Windows Server Forum / Windows NT / DNS / February 2004DNS zone transfer
I'm in the process of taking an NT4 primary DNS and removing it. I want to take the secondary DNS win2k box and make it primary and later create a secondary win2k. Here's my initial plan: Dump the secondary zone from the win2k box. Create a new primary zone.no records. Next, configure the NT4 primary to allow zone transfers, but only to the secondary win2k box. Transfer the zone to the win2k secondary then update the DHCP scope to reflect the changes. Disable the DNS service on the primary NT4 box. Questions are as follows: Just exactly how do you "dump the secondary zone? Wouldn't I have two primaries temporarily and if so, would a transfer take place to the new zone with no records? > I'm in the process of taking an NT4 primary DNS and > removing it.

Just convert the secondary on the Win2k to a primary, then change the NT4 to a Secondary, getting its data from the Win2k. Then just change the SOA record to reflect the name of the Win2k as the primary name server and allow zone transfers to the NT4 DNS. BTW, this will stop the 733 events you posted in your other thread.

An additional problem that I didn't mention is when I do a NSLOOKUP, I get "unknown servername" and feel that if I start from scratch, I'll have fresh SOA, NS, etc records. I'm wondering if I stop the DNS service on primary and dump the secondary and make it a fresh primary (and later build a win2k secondary)if that will be prudent. Trouble is how do I "dump the secondary?" Uninstall DNS and reinstall? Can I just delete the zone? Will it re-create itself or do I need to add the records manually? >-----Original Message----- >In news:153ce01c3fa31$04b1ab80$a501280a@phx.gbl, [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >BTW, this will stop the 733 events you posted in your other thread. > You are correct.

Leave the W2K system as secondary, force a zone transfer (or wait until one occurs) then shut down the primary and change the secondary to a primary. Jeff |
