DNS and A.D.

We just set up A.D on our network. Currently on a D.C we
have DNS on it with it being A.D. intergraded. Now we
have setup multiple D.C. and I want to setup DNS on them.
How do I go about setting up DNS on the other D.C? Is it
the same as setting up a primary and secondary DNS server,
where I have to allow zone transfers or does DNS replicate
along with A.D? I have added the DNS components to a D.C.,
but I no forward or reverse zones have been created. Do I
have to create the zones on the new DNS servers and then
it populates the zone or should the zones automatically be
added when I add the DNS components?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

DCPROMO the machine into the domain and let it set up DNS for you, it will
replicate the data from the AD Integrated zone on the current DC. You will
not need to allow zone transfers, it will happen through AD.
