I would find a way to do Option 2 for all your zones. Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected]

Thanks I. For DMZ DNS: 1) Export the Blox zone to a flat file 2) Modify as needed to MS formatted .dns file 3) Create new MS zone as a non AD integrated primary – use file 4) Clean up nameserver records 5) Stop Blox services for test 6) Test lookups/resolution against new ms dns 7) Change needed firewall rules 8) Point clients/servers/devices to new ms servers 9) Checkout 10) Stop Infoblox dns. II. For the internal stuff: 1) Create 2ndaries on MS 2) Do the zone xfers from Blox to MS 3) Stop the Blox DNS services 4) Test lookups on new ms zones 5) Make MS zones the primaries 6) Clean up nameserver records 7) Test lookups to new zones 8) Convert to AD integrated, etc. 9) Test lookups to AD integrated servers 10) Point everything to new MS DNS 11) De-comm Blox -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 10/28/13, Don Kuhlman <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Migrating from Infoblox to MS DNS General questions To: [email protected] Date: Monday, October 28, 2013, 1:16 PM Thanks much Ken!

Set up secondaries on the MS side, shut down the infoblox, then convert the MS zones to primaries. IIRC, you can't go directly to AD integrated - you have to make them primaries first, then AD integrated (if that is what you want). Clean up the nameserver records. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don Kuhlman Sent: Monday, October 28, 2013 1:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Migrating from Infoblox to MS DNS General questions Hi folks. Happy almost Halloween! I had some generic questions for anyone that may have worked on an Infoblox to Microsoft DHCP/DNS migration. From what I've found reading the doc and googling, you can export the Infoblox dns info to a flat file, then use that to import into MS DNS, which I thought would be a good method for a DMZ configuration. I also read that you could just set up a new zone in MS as a 2ndary, then do a zone transfer from the Blox appliance to the MS 2ndary zone, confirm it all moved over, make the MS primary, point everything to the MS server, then decomm the Blox and manage MS from there. Are there any gotchas for those that have in this scenario? For example, are there any types of Blox DNS records that MS doesn't support from a pure DNS point of view ? Any gotchas on leaving the Blox Grid type of setup to MS ? Thanks, Don K
