I have a win2k server setup as one of my name servers and
I would like to move it to another box. Is there a way
to export the dns data on the old box and then import it
on the new box?

Thanks

Yes, there is even a script at www.reskit.net/scripts called dnsdump that
automates this, very handy if you have a lot of zones.

Rename the file to dnsdump.bat.
From a command line, type dnsdump export dirname
This will export all zone files and registry entries to the directory you
set in dirname.
 
How do I import them into the new server.

the same command as the export except you use import instead of export.
dnsdump must be in the same relative dorectory or you have to use the full
dierctory name like C:\dirname

If I remember correctly, Dean made that script really really easy to use and
all you have to do is type in dnsdump /? and it will show you all the
command options and syntax.
