As I stated before the DNS is AD integrated so hopefully that should not
cause any problems. Q223346 states where you should place the FSMO roles so
this should also be ok.
Can anyone think of anything else? I need to check? I think thats about it.
Thanks for your suggestions

There are some questions that you would need to answer. Is your DNS
AD-Integrated, as Noah suggests? If so, I believe each DNS server has its
own SOA record, so you don't have to worry about that. Otherwise, you will
need to make sure that you have another Primary DNS server. Also, you will
need to modify DHCP scopes to reflect the DNS change. As Noah also says,
definitely having another GC is a must. You seem to be on the ball with
the
FSMO changes. Do you know all of them that need to be changed

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

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
