Robert,
AS you noted you will need to transfer the FSMO roles to another
DC (this transfer should happen automatically when you use dcpromo, but
it is always safer to do it manually). Your DNS seems fine, as long as
the server hosts the same AD integrated zones. You'll also want to make
sure you have at least one of the other DC's as a Global Catalog server,
and as always make a fresh backup before you start.
Hope that helps,
Noah Ravenscroft

Subject: [ActiveDir] Removing a Domain Controller
Hi All,
I need to rebuild my primary domain controller, basically the first
controller I upgraded from NT4 on. What do I need to do, to ensure that
nothing is lost from the domain?
I know I need to Transfer the FSMO roles... Since the machine is the SOA
for my DNS, Is changing the SOA as simple as right clicking the SOA
record
and changing the properties to a different server hosting AD integrated
DNS?
Any other thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.
BR
Robert Rutherford
