| MIGRATE FROM BIND TO DNS SERVERS |
| Some network administrators might argue that there's no reason to ever |
| migrate from BIND to Windows 2000 DNS. However, a situation may arise in |
| which you need to do just that. |
| For one possible way to migrate BIND to DNS, follow these steps: |
| 1. Install DNS on your machine running Windows 2000 Server. |
| 2. Go to Start | Programs | Administrative Tools and open the DNS |
| 3. Expand Forward Lookup Zones, and right-click on it. Select New Zone, |
| then Standard Secondary, and click Next. |
| 4. Type the name of the zone to which you're migrating and click Next. |
| 5. Type the IP address of the BIND DNS server and click Add and then |
| 7. Right-click the newly created zone and select Transfer From Master; |
| this copies all of the records to your DNS. |
| 8. Now you can remove BIND DNS and change the zone type to primary. |
| Right-click on the secondary zone and select Properties. Click Change, select |
| Standard Primary, and click OK. Your Windows 2000 DNS server is now |
| holding the primary zone. |
| 9. You have to either change the IP address of the Windows 2000 machine |
| to use the IP of the BIND machine (the BIND machine will also need an new |
| IP address) or change the DNS IP address on all your clients to use the |
| IP address of the Windows 2000 DNS machine. |
