Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a win 2000 Sp4 server with a local domain called &quot;abc.local&quot; active directory integrated. Also this server is a DNS server for the FQDN &quot;abc.com&quot; &amp;&nbsp;&quot;abc.net&quot;. Now I have to migrate it to Win 2003 R2 server and I have a fair idea to do the migration. But my doubt is that when i follow the migration procedure would the &quot;abc.com&quot; &amp;&nbsp;&quot;abc.net&quot; domains dns settings will also be transferred to the new win 2003 r2 server...? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
or should i have to follow some procedures... need explanation....
