How easy is to switch the DNS type from Primary to Active Directory Integrated. Has anyone done that without any problems?

Thanks

I have never run into any problems doing this. The only thing that occurs is that instead of the DNS database being stored in a file or files in the Windows directory, now the DNS database exists a part of Active Directory. As long as you aren't having problems with AD at the time you make the change, you should have no problem.

As far as how easy: Open the DNS mmc; click properties for your DNS zone; change type from Primary to AD-integrated; make sure you do this for both the forward-lookup and reverse-lookup zones. AD does the rest in a flash.
