Just change the setting for the zone and its done. One thing to note is that you'll have to make that change on EVERY domain controller, if the zone already exists. In other words, you have 2 domain controllers, one with the primary zone and the other secondaring that zone off the first. If you change the DC with the primary zone, it does NOT effect the setting of the secondary server - it will still be set as secondary. You have to manually change the secondaries to be AD integrated as well.
I'd change the primary then wait at least the AD replication interval before changing the secondary. Once replication happens, when you change the secondary, you'll get a message asking if you want to keep the information from the zone file or from AD. Choose AD and you're all set. If you don't wait, you will not get that option. Its not a significant issue, but I believe it could cause a period of time where the two DNS zones could be out of sync.
