I have a 2008 R2 DNS server, it is in a Workgroup (no AD is involved) and is not Internet facing. It is not used much. I need to move DNS off of it to a new 2016 server. Is it OK to install the DNS role on the 2016 server and copy the zones over before
I actually make it the DNS server (meaning give it the same name and IP of the current one)? Or, is it better to rename and re-IP the current one.....then install the DNS role on the new one and copy over the zones, then give it the same name and IP of the
old one? I am just trying to minimize downtime (either way I will do this off hours).
