We are going to change ISP's. Other than the DNS entries themselves what
items in Windows should we maintain? DNS root hints? How do these get
populated? dns cache on the dns servers? etc.

Thanks.

Root hints should not need to be changed, these are the root servers
out on the internet, I would think the only thing you need to change
is the forwarder to the new ISP's DNS server
But it all depends on your configuration! Yuo don't state if it is an
AD integrated zone etc

It is an AD integrated zone. We forward from the child to the parent domain
and then out to the internet.
