How to expert your DNS zone info.

For documentation, monitoring or troubleshooting reasons you sometimes might want to export the information in your DNS zone on your Windows Server 2003 DNS servers. You can do this easily using the dnscmd.exe command by typing either dnscmd /zoneexport or dnscmd /zoneprint at a command prompt on your DNS server.
