My site is currently using DNS Forwarding and I would like to change from forwarding to Root Hints. What is involved in this change? How do I make the change to utilize Root Hints? What should I be aware of when I make this change? What needs to be configured?
Thanks

I think as mr Jay Jay 70 saied.
that your DNS by default able to perfome iterative query against the roo hints all you have to do is to remove the forwaders
but.
If you have removed the roothints before i'm afraid that you have to recreate them againe by getting the roothints file from any other working dns server this file is located by default in the %SystemRoot%\system32\dns\cache.dns
this file contains a list of all working root hints or if you can't optain this file you can create it manualy here is the structre:
-------------------------
;
; Root Name Server Hints File:
;
; These entries enable the DNS server to locate the root name servers
; (the DNS servers authoritative for the root zone).
; For historical reasons this is known often referred to as the
; "Cache File"
