I have two DC running Server 2000 and setup an AD
integrated DNS zone and DHCP on one of the DC. Will I
need to setup DNS on the other DC or will DNS be
replicated to both DCs through AD? Or, is it that I need
to setup DNS on both DC and setup an AD integrated DNS
zone for it to replicate between the two DCs?

If you want to replicate the DNS records then you,
obviously, need at least two DNS servers to transfer the
data between. A DNS server can't, and won't even attempt
to, replicate data to itself even if it is AD integrated.

A DNS Active Directory zone is replicated to ALL domain controllers regardless of whether DNS is installed on them - it is part of normal replication. HOWEVER, in order for a server to answer DNS queries, the DNS service must be installed on the server

So the short answer to your question is no , you will not have to setup DNS on the other DC for DNS to be replicated.----- Samantha Hyatt wrote: ----

DNS Can't be Active Directory Integrated without there being 2 servers. So, to answer your question..... you need to set up 2 AD Integrated DNS Zones on separate servers in order for them to replicate to each other.

You need to have two DNS servers. I am asuming that the on
you currently have is the primary. You need to install and
configure the second DC as the secondary DNS server.
