I have &nbsp;a small network 300 users. One exchange 2007 server. Two domain controllers running server 2003, and they are also the dns servers. I have built a new domain controller with a totally different domain name. I need help configuring &nbsp;dns so the domain trusts can be setup. The old dc is Authoritative &nbsp;for the old domain name and the new domain name. I need to set the new dc to be Authoritative &nbsp;for the new domain name. I read the articles on stub zones and optional forwarders, but am inexperienced enough with dns to ask for more detailed help. Thank you

Domain trusts and DNS configuration

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

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.
