convert the zone from AD-intg to Primary. The zone should be written to
system32\dns folder after that. Once you have the file, you can go back and
convert the zone to AD-intg again.
Another option is to use dnscmd to dump the zone info to file. You can use
/enumrecords or /zoneprint, depending on what you want to do with the file.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Strange DNS problem. How to troubleshoot
Hi,
thanks for your reply, I was in panic mode yesterday and sent this email before
doing more in deep troubleshooting myself, it turns out that the problem was in
the Nasa DNS server, they were delegating the subdomain to another DNS server,
but they have them wrongly configured the delegation :(
Thanks anyway.
My DNS are AD integrated, I though a file was written and that you could
actually modify the dns conf by editing those files, like in Linux, I was wrong
I guess, is there a way to force that file to be written?
Thanks

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Strange DNS problem. How to troubleshoot
For starters, what version of Windows Server are you using? Is it fully
patched?
What's in the event logs (system, application, and dns event logs)
before/during/after the dns server goes wonky [1]?
Is this AD-Integrated DNS? If so, no dns files are going to be written out. If
so, they'll be in the directory specified in the properties of the server.
What is your DNS topology? Is this server authoritative for nasa.gov? Is it a
forwarder? stub zone? ??
I'm sure there's more, but that's a great place to start.
[1] Is that the correct use of the term? If not, please correct me so I don't
make that gaffe again.

Hi,
I am having a problem with the DNS.
I have a few users that connects to computers at NASA.
Every none and them our DNS server here stop resolving certain machines in the
domains <machine>.<subdomain>.nasa.gov
I have run nslookups asking for those machines to different DNS servers, my DNS
don't resolve but others DNS are resolving fine, I have also use the online
tool dnsstuff.com and and that one resolves too.
Last time I solved the problem restarting the dns server service in the
servers, other time I cleared the cache and updated the server data files and
that was enough
Any tips of how should I start troubleshooting this?
Also, a separate question, I saw once that windows DNS server keep all the conf
in a file, like Linux/UNIX, where is that file located?
Thanks in advance
