Thanks,

Mayby it wrote it wrong. I have 2 Windows 2000 AD Integrated DNS
servers. I now want to remove the secondly added DNS server and
replace it with a new Windows 2003 DNS server which also should be
AD Integrated.

Can i just remove the DNS service and then retire the server and replace
it with a new Windows 2003 server (same IP-address but different
server name) ??.

Thanks,
Jan -
