Without wishing to state the obvious, why not simply perform a zone transfer and then convert the transferred copy?
In addition, I've written a tool named DNSdump that moves DNS configurations from server to server. It supports 2000 and 2003 (and cross platform/cross domain AD integrated zones), if you'd care to post a copy (or an example) zone file from NT4 I'd be happy to take a look and see if the zone file syntax is compatible (or convertible).

We are testing our domain migration from NT to 2K3. Our current DNS zones are primary and secondary. We want migrate to AD int zones. Server Build: I installed an isolated 2K3 server, installed DNS with a primary zone (copied the zone file from our production server) and then installed Active Directory to use this server as the only DNS server. I was NOT able to change the zone type from primary to AD integrated. In this Q article, Microsoft says that in 2K server you can change your DNS zone from primary to AD int. Primary and Active Directory Integrated Zones Differences http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=227844 <http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=227844> I guess DNS is different from 2K to 2K3 server? The option is greyed out in 2K server DNS. (right click on zone, properties, change button). However, the option is NOT even there in 2K3! This Q article does say that this will work for 2K server. Setting Up the Domain Name System for Active Directory http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=237675 <http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=237675> Has anyone found a way for this to work with 2K3 server? Or is this not possible? Thank you in advance for your time and suggestions! Cliff Airhart Answer Financial Inc.
