We have a DNS server in NT4 in primary zone and a DNS server inWin2k in
secondary zone of the primary

I need to convert the primary NT4 to secondary and the secondary WIN2K in
primary..

How can we do it with the minimum impact ?

Thanks

Convert the W2k zone to Primary first. Allow zone transfers to the NT4
machine's IP, then convert the NT4 to a Secondary, naming the W2k as the
Master.

How to name w2k as a master ?
For the NT4, it is as simple to select secondary on the dns name to convert
it ?
Thanks

On the SOA tab of zone properties Primary server field type in the primary
name or browse to the record.

I think he also means how do you specify that W2k is the Master on the NT4
machine? If this is the question, simple, when you convert it to a secondary
zone, it will ask you to type the IP of the machine hostin gthe Primary
zone.
