More info?)
thanks again Kevin. In looking at my dns snapin on the server that I know to
be as the primary dns server in our organization, we have one forward lookup
zone. On the primary server I did change this from standard primary to active
directory integrated. I also see in the snapin that we have three other dns
servers listed, but they all list the same zone as secondary. You mentioned
deleting secondary zones, should I delete the zones on the other three
servers listed in the snapin that I opened on my main dns server? Just want
to be sure.
