Need to migrate DNS and DHCP services from UNIX to Active Directory Domain Controllers

Gurus,

Need to migrate DNS and DHCP services from a pair of UNIX servers to a pair
of Active Directory Domain Controllers. This is my base plan:

1) Install DNS service on the Windows 2003 DCs
2) Replicate the zone from the UNIX servers to the DCs
3) Change DHCP scope properties on clients to point to the DCs for DNS
4) Install DHCP Services on the DCs with same scope properties as the UNIX
servers
5) Deactivate the DHCP and DNS service on the UNIX servers

Thoughts?

Spin,
will the two DCs become authoritative for your namespace? If so, you might
want to consider converting your zones to Active Directory integrated.
Also, note that you will need to modify DNS settings on both DCs.
In addition, keep in mind security implications of running DHCP on a domain
controller (use alternate credentials for DNS dynamic update registration).
You might want to also increase the value assigned conflict detection
attempts during DHCP migration...
