Migrating from Bind to W2K DNS

[Ed Sanborn]

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 =3D=


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 =3D

DNS entries and the DHCP config to the W2K DNS and DHCP servers.  Has
anyone done this successfuly.  =3D


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=
=3D

that last idea strikes me as good except that the files will not be in mast=
=3D
er
file format, right?  How do I transfer?  =3D


  My latest plan calls for getting DHCP up and running and then letting =3D=


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=
=3D
he
mood for it.
