chuku,
the current problem that bradlee27514 is trying to solve is the "strange" display resulting from a customized MMC.
If the zones on his current primary server are standard primary (and this seems to be the case, because otherwise, there would be errors in the event log), then his current configuration is *absolutely* *correct*. Not optimal, but correct.
The existing zones will *only* be transferred automatically if they are already configured as AD integrated zones.
Please try not to confuse a user who doesn't seem to have too much experience with Windows DNS by giving unrelated and incomplete information.
bradlee27514,
try double-clicking the dnsmgmt.msc that you copied over from the secondary machine.
