We opened the properties for the zone on the Primary DNS (which is also a
DC) and changed the zone to AD-Integrated. We then opened the zone for the
secondary DNS (also a DC) and it said that the zone type was invalid and
would not accept the change. When we tried to remove the zone on the
secondary to attempt to readd it as AD Integrated it added fine but it did
not pull any records from the other. We checked the other and that is when
we found that all of the records were gone from both. We are running a
native 2000 domain also to answer that question.
Thanks for your help
