There has already been one reply, but I will add more to that reply.
1) On the W2k DNS Server, right-click on the zone to display the
zone properties menu. In the "General" tab there is a "Change"
button. Use it to change the zone from "standard secondary" to
either "standard primary" or "AD-integrated".
2) On the master, save the primary zone data file as a backup. Then
edit named.conf to change the zone type from master to slave.
Then "rndc reload".
