Re: Copy AD Zone to new zone?

Thank you for your reply. Sorry, Let me try to Clarify...

I'm not speaking of our 'NT Domain', just a Domain that we have on our AD
DNS Server.

NT Domain Name = abc.com
company Domain = 123.com
new Domain = new123.com

Currently we have 123.com in our AD DNS, as we use the name behind the
firewall and access Web-servers with that DNS Name.

We just purchased new123.com and would like to be able to have the same DNS
record info for it as 123.com.

On our Standalone Internet DNS Server All I do is point the zonefile of
new123.com to the zone file of 123.com and all is good.

In AD, there is no Zone file, so I cant just point the new domain name to
the Existing. Seems like the last time I did this, we had to remove 123.com
from AD and make it a Primary on the AD DNS Server. Then Copy the Zone file,
then point the new123.com to the zone file, then convert both back to AD
domains.

Just seems like they should have fixed this in 2003...

Thanks,
Scott<-
