Guest swu30@hotmail.com Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 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!
Guest Anthony Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 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.

I'm not using AD integrated zones, just the plain text. Thx again! - Steve On Sep 19, 11:20 am, "Anthony" <anthony.s...@spammedout.com> wrote: > You just change the zone to Primary.
