I'm hoping this is a simple question - I have a DNS server on W2k that
is a secondary on our main Forward Lookup Zone. I would like to bump
up to be the primary DNS server for our zone, is it as easy as right
clicking on the zone and in the Properties, clicking on the Change...
button? That would have to happen for all the reverse lookup zones as
well?

I would also need to change the SOA record. Is there more to do?

Thx!
 
Re: Converting secondary DNS server to primary

You just change the zone to Primary. That's it.
The only question I have to ask is, you say it is a secondary so somewhere
else is the primary, but where is the integrated zone for AD? Maybe you are
not using AD.

Thanks Anthony for your reply. I'm not using AD integrated zones, just
the plain text.

Thx again! - Steve
