How to Move Windows 2000 DNS Data into 2008 DNS


If you are upgrading Windows 2000 Active Directory domains to Windows Server 2008, you might choose to move your DNS zones into the newly created DNS application directory partitions.

After completing the upgrade of all Windows 2000–based domain controllers in the forest to Windows Server 2008, you should move the Active Directory–integrated DNS data on all current DNS servers from the domain partition into the newly created DNS application directory partitions. This is done by changing the replication scope of the DNS zones.


To change the replication scope of the domain-wide DNS zone by using a DNS application directory partition
1. On a domain controller that hosts a DNS server in a particular domain, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click DNS to open the DNS Manager.
2. Right-click the DNS zone that uses the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Active Directory domain, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Change button next to Replication: All DNS servers in this domain.
4. Click To all DNS servers in this domain:<domain_name>,and then click OK.

To change the replication scope of the _msdcs.forest_root_domain DNS zone by using a DNS application directory partition
1. On a domain controller that hosts a DNS server in the forest root domain, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click DNS to open the DNS Manager.
2. Right-click the _msdcs.<forest_root_domain> DNS zone, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Change button next to Replication: All DNS servers in this forest.
4. Click To all DNS servers in this forest:<forest_name>, and then click OK.
