Depends. You can update directly the configured
server or you can have DHCP do the update for you. Typically, a DC will
update DNS servers directly based on the configuration it is told to use
(network connections settings).
Installing DNS on a DC for a new implementation is
as easy as following the wizard. After the process completes, you
would typically change the connection settings to itself. Note that there
is an island effect possible where a DC may not be able to find other
resources due to lack of replication. This can happen
in multiple DC evironments and may not be an issue for
you.
If you want to move the data, you'd want to create a
secondary zone and move it that way.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Changing DNS server
Currently, I am using BIND and would like to move over to AD
integrated. Is this is simple as it seems...just install DNS on one DC, and it
just works? Is there a specific place that you specify what DNS server to update
records on, or does the DC just update whatever DNS server that is set in
network connections? Thanks in advance.
