Just install DNS on the new server. Since the new server is now a DC in the
same domain as the original DC, and the zone is AD integrated, the zone will
auto populate on the new machine. Then all that needs to be done is
uninstall DNS off the original DC (DO NOT DELETE THE ZONE). Just uninstall
it. If y9ou delete it off the old machine, that fact will replicate to all
DC/DNS servers and you will lose the zone.

Before you do that, of course, you'll want to change the DNS addresses
specified in your DC, member servers and client's IP properties. Assuming
you use DHCP, DHCP option 006 needs to be changed to reflect the new DNS
server's address as well. Do you have Macs? You'll need to change them too.

It's nbot the difficult as long as you remember what machines are set to use
the old DNS, you'll want to change them to the new one prior to uninstalling
DNS services off the old one.
