Can someone please assist.  I am trying to move all my DNS
entries from a Windows NT server to a new Windows 2000
Advanced Server.  So, from one old server to a new server.
Would anyone have any suggestions?

Since NT didn't support AD I'll assume these are standard primary
domains.  Simply create a secondary on the new DNS, let the data
replicate, then change the secondary to primary.

If there are a lot of domains Dean Wells created a batch file to automate
this, it's called DNSDump and is available at www.reskit.net/scripts

Well, I'd use the "dnscmd" tool and a little of scripting on the
new win2k to recreate all the zones hosted on the NT machine
and set them up as "secondaries" (the NT being the primary)
at that point, once the zone will be transferred I'd use another
script to change all the zones from secondaries to primaries
this should allow you have a quick "jump start"
