I recently took a new job. we are in the middle of a domain migration. I must migrate our current DNS services running on Windows Server 2003 in the xyz.local domain into the new DNS server in the new abc.com domain... The current DNS server runs on Server 2003 as will the new server which should make likfe easier. One important part of this process involves pointing all clients that use the current DNS server to the new DNS server. All member servers use static IP addresses, therefore you must manually change the TCP/IP settings on these servers to point to the new DNS server. All other hosts use DHCP to get their IP address settings including providing the DNS servers.
Before making any changes to point hosts to the new DNS server I must get the DNS service installed, configured on the new server. First the easy part > install the DNS server from Add / Remove Programs > Windows Components > Network Services > DNS.
(I also need to quickly check GPO's to check for any DNS settings that may be lurking in them).
