This will probably be the most unpopular question on this
list today but here goes:
Has anyone successfully migrated from Bind to Microsoft DNS server?
I just installed Windows 2000 Server and I have decided to migrate
from my all Solaris-based Bind and DHCP to Microsoft DNS for all of the =
obvious "sucked into the Borg" reasons. I'm not proud of it but I'm
going forward with the plan. One of my tasks is to migrate all of the =
DNS entries and the DHCP config to the W2K DNS and DHCP servers. Has
anyone done this successfuly. =
I can imagine that with atleast 99.99% of the folsk on this least actively
using Bind and not W2K DNS most of you will laugh at this question but
on the off-chance that someone has done this I'm hoping to get a little
help. I'm sort of looking for either a script to convert the tables from
one platform to the other or an approach - like making the W2K DNS server
a secondary to the Bind primary server in order to download the files. But=
that last idea strikes me as good except that the files will not be in mast=
er
file format, right? How do I transfer? =
My latest plan calls for getting DHCP up and running and then letting =
W2K DDNS populate the DNS tables automagically. But that means careful
DHCP server migration.
I am using Bind 8.2.3 if that helps. No flames today please. I'm not in t=
he
mood for it.
