two AD DNS and zone replication

[Chris T.]

I have two Active Directory domains running with a dns server in each AD
domain and i want one to transfer its zone to the other Active Directory
domain. But I do not want to transfer my other domain to the other DNS
server. They are running in AD integrated mode. How do I do this?

for the zone you want to be able to transfer, convert it from AD-integrated
to Primary. Then right-click and click on Property. On the "Zone Transfer"
tab, check "allow transfer", "only to the follwoing server" and type in the
IP address of the server that you will be transferring to. Then on the DNS
server that you will transfering to, create a secondary zone, give it the
name of the zone you want to transfer and specify the IP address of the
Primary DNS server.

Wait for a while and check the transfer.

Deji, is it necessary to convert it? AD Integ can be allowed to zone
transfer, unless I'm not catching what you're saying.

You know, I have no technical justification/explanation for the "convert"
recommendation. Other than the fact that to account for the possibility that
the DNS server at the other end is not in the same domain (hence the need to
secondary the zone) or may not understand AD. But, you are right, a straight
transfer may be enough.

Just to let you know, an AD Integrated zone can be used as a Primary for
zone transfers without converting it to a Primary . They actually act like a
Primary zone in respect to zone transfers. I believe the original poster did
say they're in different domains, and without knowing more about his
infrastructure, creating a secondary seems like it would suffice.

Now if they're using W2k3, and the domains are in the same forest, then we
can opt to replicate the zone to the other domain from each other (new
feature in W2k3).

Cheers!
