Need to rebuild AD DNS

[Ronrf1]

Currently the Win2k domain is not in fqdn fashion but in
Netbios name only. The DNS database is corrupt and is not
supporting dynamic DNS, but it is located on a Win2k
server.
Is there anyway to rebuild the DNS database without
harming the AD structure or do we need to rebuild the
DNS, AD and move the users? We had issues moving user's
profiles (using XPsp1) from a Workgroup to the AD
environment. Is there an easier way to do this, or a util
that would do it better?

You can delete the particular zone and configure an Active Directory
Integrated Zone.

Once you have removed and reinstalled DNS, you can re-register servers
and workstations by entering:
IPCONFIG /RegisterDNS

and fill your DNS database quite quickly.

If the servers would be mapped to a newly created DNS and
IPCONFIG /RegisterDNS is run on each server would this
also create the nec. Netlogon, LDAP and SRV records
within the DNS? Would all the clients need to be rebuilt?
Btw - After applying MS single domain fix I ran
IPCONFIG /RegisterDNS on the servers. They were still
mapped to the original DNS server and nothing was
populated in the database. Could this be b/c the DNS was
corrupt?
