I will be making a change for our domain controllers to
use AD Integrated DNS. Right now, one of our non domain
contoller servers, named WS1, is the primary DNS server.
I loaded DNS on our domain controllers, named DC1 and DC2,
and they are currently set as secondary servers. I will
point all of our static IP clients to use DC1 and DC2 as
DNS servers. What steps do I do to complete the AD
Integrated process?

I have the following mapped out...is this correct?

1. Switch DC1 to a primary server
2. Make WS1 a secondary server
3. Remove DNS from WS1
4. Convert DC1 to AD Integrated
5. Convert DC2 to AD Integrated

We have one domain, we use W2K w/SP4 on all servers and
will be upgrading to W2K3 in a few weeks with our Exchange
roll-out.

Your help is appreciated. -Allison
