Problems changing zone to AD Integrated

[H]

Hello,

I have two DCs that have DNS running. The PDC emulator is
running a primary standard zone and the other DC is
running a secondary standard zone.

My problem is when I go to change the zone type to AD
Integrated. When I change the primary standard zone to AD
Integrated, the zone literally disappears in about 5 or so
minutes.

If I try to change the secondary standard zone to AD
Integrated, I receive an error telling me that the zone is
invalid.

Any ideas? Please help.

Thanks,
H

Remove the secondary zone first, then go to ADUC System MSDNS container if
there is already an object with the zone name delete it. Then change to AD
integrated with dynamic updates allowed and restart the Netlogon service and
run ipconfig /registerdns The Zone should replicate to the other DC within
30 minutes. Make sure there are NS records for both DCs.

Worked like a champ! Now my zones are AD Integrated
