During the migration process, while the domainA machines are still part of
domainA, they must only use domainA's DNS servers, as Meinolf implied. If
you select to use domainB's DNS, then they can't find their own domain
controllers for logon, authentication, etc. If, and assuming you are moving
to a whole new domain/forest with a new AD DNS domain name and NetBIOS name,
you can use domainB's DNS server, but you must create domainA's zone on that
server. Make sure the DCs in domainA get registered into their zone on the
new zone in domainB's server, then you can change them all to domainB's DNS
server.
I hope that makes sense.
