DNS Server not functioning properly
Ever since I changed my DHCP-DNS server and changed IP addresses it has not been able to get to the internet effectively. I get a unable to connect to DNS error, if I refresh it a couple of time it will eventually come up. The Domain Controllers seem to be working correctly and I get no errors from them. I have manually deleted all the old IP addresses from the forward Lookup Zones. I know it's DNS problem because if I change the DNS to 8.8.8.8 on a local station it works fine.
I have run the command _ldap._tcp.noam.reskit.com
and everything looks great, found both DNS server.
The DNS Server is connected to my domain and active directory. It worked fine until I moved the FSMO roles and changed the IP address of the DNS server

Use nslookup on a PC to see if the DNS servers are responding correctly (obviously, enter a few domain names to see if it looks up quickly, for both domain related, as well as internet based)

NS Lookup works fine. My ISP has not changed but I probably should have mentioned that I have a SonicWall TZ600 SonicWall for a firewall between the ISP and my local network

The forward lookup zones are the Active Directory-integraged Primary, and standard primary for my domain. The firewall configuration hasn't changed.
I added the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to the forwarders and removed the ip addresses of my DNS server. How will that affect the group policy assignments on my domain?

How will that affect the group policy assignments on my domain?I'm not sure what you mean. Changing the forwarders won't affect Group Policy at all, since that's processed inside the domain. The forwarders only come into play for resolving queries for names outside the domain.

Thanks!!! It seem to be working great!

Get the DNS forwarders from your current ISP. Even if you haven't changed, it could be that they have changed their forwarder addresses and you might have missed the communication from them. Click on Edit and delete, add and reorder forwarding servers as required.
