Can we change the secondary zone to primary and if yes how to do it and what will be the impact?
I have a two dc with name dc1 and dc2.FSMO role holder is DC1 and has Primary dns zone.DC2 is ADC and has secondary dns zone.DC1 is down due hardware failure and we need to reload the OS as well.I have no backup of primary DC1.
I Can make the DC2 as FSMO role holder by siezeing the role but I want to change the seconadry zone to primary zone.

Run the following cmd
dnscmd DNSSERVER1 /CreateBuiltinDirectoryPar
dnscmd DNSSERVER1 /CreateBuiltinDirectoryPar
but it says alredy exit.But we are not able to see the DomainDNSZones and ForestDNSZones in the DNS console.We also rebooted the DC multiple time but no luck.

You can do it through the GUI as well by tight clicking on the server name
