Well I don't quite understand what you're doing. But as I understand it you're going to take the zone and transplant it to a new server. So, the clients will simply be repointing. The ttl of a dns entry is simply how long it remains in one cache or another. Perhaps you're thinking of lowering the DHCP lease time. Yes, you can do it this way. Or, you can simply move the zone over to the new box, update everything (inc scope), and slave the old server to the new one until you've waited at least 1/2 your longest lease time for everybody to get new IPs...

Is there anything else i should do to insure a smooth transition? should I lower the ttl for the zonejust incase clients have changed ip's via dhcp or anything else? thanks List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
