Presumably nothing to do with Active Directory?<br />
<br />
Is the old server still running? Will old and new be running in parallel?<br />
<br />
DNS configuration is stored in the Registry, and Zone Files as files in %SystemRoot%\System32\DNS.<wbr /> Depending on your situation you could export the registry settings and grab the files, or we can script a copy of the zones. Just depends how it's going to work.<br />

Well the server that I am rebuilding is a DC, file server, print server, DHCP and DNS. &nbsp;There is another DC that I will not be working on and was thinking that the AD would rebuild through replication. &nbsp;Please let me know what your thoughts are on this. &nbsp;I am just finishing up with the robocopy on the shares. &nbsp;After that my plan is to blow out the array and rebuild from the OS up. &nbsp;Any suggestions on easing the pain here would be great!

I have to rebuild a file server from the ground up. &nbsp;This server also functions as our DNS server. &nbsp;Is there anything I need to get out of there so that I can restore DNS as soon as Windows is reloaded. &nbsp;IE...zones, etc....<br />
<br />
Can you please be specific on how to get the info that I may need out...

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
