Hello.

I have a Primary DNS server with about 100 Standard Primary Records.
These are Individual Zones because we are a web hosting company. Does
anyone know how to move all these zones to the new server without
having to input every single zone back into the new DNS server?

Also will need to replace our Secondary DNS Server ..


Reviewed all Tech net artciles but they do not help when there are
multiple lookup zones ..

MKBA 280061

There is a settings and register key (RegistryBoot I believe) in DNS
server that allows it to boot from a stock "Boot" file with zone files.

Search for that and then set it to ONLY boot from registry, make sure
all of your current zones get saved (to disk files), and try moving that
to another DNS server that has the same registry setting.
 
Stop DNS service on both machines. Copy the zone files to the new server into the winnt\system32\dns directory. Export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System
\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Zones from the old server and import on the new server. Start the DNS service and you should be good to go. For the
details see: 280061 HOW TO: Move Windows 2000 DNS Zones to Another Windows 2000-based Server http://support.microsoft.com/?id=280061\

Thank you,
