All,
I have a win2008R2 forest/domain running without AD integrated DNS. The forest uses a linux IPAM server for DNS. The IPAM is absolete and there is no vendor support therefore it needs to be decommissioned. I am working on testing a migration plan from
this BIND based linux box to Windows DNS.
Since I have no permissions to configure a zone transfer from the linux box I am creating a new primary non-AD integrated DNS zone in a member server(it is much simpler to test without affecting the prod servers).
I have installed the DNS role on a member server, created a new primary zone in this new non-AD integrated DNS server, I have successfully imported the records from the linux DNS box. As I started testing I realized the SRV records did not import to the
new win dns zone. It looks like they were not part of the file I downloaded from the linux box. Also, since the new test primary windows Zone I created is not AD integrated it did not automatically create the the usual SRV records folders: _sites, _tcp,
_UDP, domainDNSzones, ForestDNSzones.
Therefore, my questions are:
- is there a way I can recreate all the SRV records and folders in the non-AD integrated zone?
- can you actually run 2 primary zones in parallel while testing is validated: 1 linux and 1 non-AD integrated
DNS
- or is it best to just decomm the linux primary zone and switch to the windows dns zone at the same time?
thnx
