Windows Server 2003 - Change DNS to Active Directory Integrated


hi,

i have windows 2003 domain primary , secondary dns servers.

as understand it, better if ad integrated.

to end, have seen how make change primary "store in active directory" right clicking domain name under forward lookup zones. (this option not exist secondary though).

my questions :-


easy looks? i.e, make change on primary dns server adi ?
there potential "gotachs" ?
downside ?

how change secondary adi ?

any apprecaited !

regards
dave

convert primary ad-integrated. remove secondary. wait zone replicate via ad replication - should appear on other dns server.

as far caveats concerned, keep in mind that new setup, dns records stored in ad, proper functioning of dns becomes dependent on ad replication (although should monitor anyway). in addition, might complicate matters in situations need simultaneously shut down dcs - since see delay during startup, due unavailability of dns (however, not factor in case, since dns servers reside on dcs)
