Hello I changed my dns server from AD integrated to non. All three DNS are primary DNS servers. I am not sure if I understand the functionality. When I add a host record to DNS A it does not replicate to DNS B. Do I need to make only one server primary and all the rest secondary?
Thank you all.
Take care.
 
Why did you remove the DNS from being AD Integrated?

There are no more PDC's! There are DC's with FSMO roles!
 
Because we are being aquired and for the migration to complete they wanted us to move all services like wins dhcp dns off our domain controllers.
 
Yes, make one primary and the other(s) secondary.

If you make your DNS servers non AD integrated, waited a while uninstalled DNS from your servers and then reinstalled DNS in AD integrated mode, would your DNS servers have a fresh copy of DNS or would they pick up the zones etc from AD?

I'm having DNS issues you see and trying to get a fresh DNS install.
