I am trying to change the SOA record for one of my AD integrated zones, and
it is automatically reverting back to the FQDN of the host. Does anyone know
of a way to force the SOA change to stick?

Thanks in advance for any .

ADI Zones will always show the FQDN of the DC they are on as the SOA
Primary.

That's too bad, does anyone know of a hack to get around that?

I'm trying to virtualize my DNS server names and IPs so it will be easier to
migrate to new domain controllers in the future. I want to have
NS1.mydomain.com and NS2.mydomain.com point to IPs that I have added to my
domain controllers. That way those names and IPs will never change and can
be moved to any domain controller running DNS that I choose.

The Microsoft DNS server and net logon service have tried to stop me at
every turn with automatic registration of certain DNS records, but I've
managed get around most of that. The SOA record is my final battle!

Any would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

Can I assume this is so you can host your own Public DNS zones?
Use Standard Primary zones, for the public zones with dynamic updates turned
off on the zone. Leave the zone for the Active Directory domain as ADI with
Only secure updates allowed.
This works fine as long as your AD Domain name is NOT the same as your
public domain name. If this is the case and your AD Domain is the same as
your public domain, you need to move the Public Zone off the domain
controller. In fact that is highly recommended anyway, do not host public
zones and private zones on the same DNS server. Public and private zones
must show different views of the network they resolve for.
