Will the DNS error listed below cause problems when we try to migrate the PDC to a new server?

Tags: dns, error
We manage a Win2003 PDC on a sub-domian.  The DNS on the PDC allows dynamic updates, it points to the parent domain for name forwarding and to itself for DNS.  We would like to migrate this PDC's Active Directory and DNS to a new server but are concerned that the DNS errors it is currently displaying will cause problems during the migration.  Do you think that the following DNS error will cause problems for an AD migration and if so what can be done to remedy it?
Here are the details of the error and what has been tried already:
>>>When running netdiag /fix I receive many DNS_ERROR_RCODE_SERVER_FAILURE messages.
