Is there an easy way to import the DNS entries from a 2000 server to a 2003
server without overwriting any of the 2003 entries?

Well, if i'st a zone you're talking about, you can create the zone on the
2003 server as a secondary to the W2k's Primary zone, then let the transfer
happen, then make it Primary.
Not sure what you mean by "not overwriting any entries". What entries are on
there? Is it already a secondary or is it AD Integrated? If it's a different
zone, then it's a moot point.

I have this situation too, but creating a secondary zone on the 2K
server isnt an option, as the domain zone name already exists, as a
AD-integrated zone.
I.e. on Windows 2000 server (in a Windows NT domain) I have a domai
called home.company.net, and now I also have a new 2K3 AD domain calle
home.company.net that the customer wants all the records transferre
from the old to the new...
Do you know of a way to do that? I've seen Dean Wells DNSdump.cmd, bu
I don't think it applies in my case as it appears will overwrite all m
existing zone info/config etc - quite dangerous seeing as it is a full
configured AD child domain.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Geoff

I don't understand Geoff, you say you cannot create a secondary zone on 2k3
since the zone exists in the child domain? Then why not just set it as AD
Integrated since the zone is already there? Then change it back to a Primay.
Of course we're talking about machines in the same forest.
Now if you are saying you have a completey separate new domain in a new
forest that you want migrated, then the Primary/Secondary method is your
bet, unless you can tweak Dean's script.
You can also opt to use DNSCMD or just manually copy the
system32\dns\zonename.dns files over and use them.

The source is a W2K DNS server in a Windows NT domain.
The destination is a completely new & seperate 2K3 AD domain/forest.
The zone home.company.net exists as the primary DNS zone in teh WIndow
NT domain. It was also (unfortunately) the DNS name that was chosen t
create the new child domain in the new forest.
I can't change the AD DNS zone to non-AD-integrated... HANG ON - I jus
went to check that setting, and now I see I can change it - I swear i
was greyed out when I tried this yesterday!!
That should solve it for me

Oh, I see! NT4 to W2k3. There's third party stuff for that other than the
Primary/Secondary method.
But I'm glad you got it to work!
