Initiate a zone transfer at a secondary server

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To initiate a zone transfer at a secondary server

  • Using the Windows interface

  • Using a command line

Using the Windows interface

  1. Open DNS.

  2. In the console tree, right-click the applicable zone and click Transfer from master.

Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

  • To open DNS, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click DNS.

  • This procedure checks to see if the start of authority (SOA) resource record in the secondary zone is the most recent version of the SOA resoure record in the primary zone. If the SOA resource records are synchronized, then there is no zone transfer. If the SOA resource records are not synchronized, then there is a zone transfer.

  • By default, the DNS server will only allow a zone transfer to authoritative DNS servers listed in the name server (NS) resource records for the zone.

Using a command line

  1. Open Command Prompt.

  2. Type:

    dnscmdServerName**/ZoneRefresh**ZoneName
