Hello Lee,
If your higher level orders to use that DNS server as secondary, use it. For the new DC/DNS i would only use the existing DC/DNS 25.14.168.11 as preferred until AD/DNS replication is done complete, after that change the ip to itself as preferred and use the other DNS server as secondary.
Then for testing the new server from all clients, reconfigure them for the new DNS, disconnect the old one (unplug network cable one or two days) and check if everything is still running. Do not forget to make the DC also Global catalog.
If all tests are ok reconnect the old server and you can start demoting it, change the ip's etc.
Best regards
Meinolf Weber

Thanks for that the IP you mention is as follows, the client is part
of the Ministry of Defence and are on RLI Military protected Broadband
and we were advised to point to that, do you think it is serving no
purpose doing that as we dont need internet connectivity on the
servers?

Hello Lee,
Open DNS management console and highlight the Forward/Reverse lookup
zone, in the right pane you will see type.
From dcdiag, for the errors displayed there under "systemlog" check
the event viewer system log. There you should find errors, which are
maybe resolved. To make sure you can save and delete the systemlog
and wait 2 days, then run dcdiag again. Rest seems to be fine.
From netdiag, the servers are not in the internet i hope, because you
didn't use private ip range. Why 25.31.11.2 from a different ip
range? Is it your ISP? For domain connectivity use only domain
internal DNS servers, so point the server to the DC/DNS that should
be removed.
If not done i would also update to SP2 and latest patches.

Hello Meinolf please find below the test results foe netdiag and
dcdiag, i would be grateful if you could check them for me also how
do i check if im running an Active Directory Intergrated Zone?
Also these tests were taken when the server was online but for the
last 3 weeks it seems to go offline every 2 hours and needs
rebooting to restore connectivity with the network - i have
installed new network card and dealt with all errors that were in
event viewer - this server was due to be replaced in May but as i
could not seem to resolve the issue we have decided to replace it
now.
