I have a primary server with primary DNS Zone, I made
another server to act as secondary, after i replicated the
zone and could see the database from the Secondary
server.I want to take this Secondary server to the test
environment and use it as Primary server which will act as
Primary DNS zone, how can i make this happen, considering
the fact that i can no longer take this system back to my
Production environment.

Thanks

So, you now have the zone information on the test server. Now, right-click
on the Zone and convert it to Primary. Take it to your test environment and
do whatever you want with it. If you need to bring it back to the production
environ, just convert the zone back to Secondary and you'll be OK.
