Here's my scenario.
Server A - containg accounts to be migrated
Server B - containg accounts to be migrated
Server C - new server that will take the account from Server A+B
Server A+B is currently running a multi-server DNS setup and they both are currently running as the nameserver for the accounts
So my question is this:
If I add Server C into the multi-server setup, will Server C be able to update the zones on Server A+B to point to new IP on Server C when the account is created on Server C.
I'm guessing on Server C I will have to check "Zone Transfer" only and leave "Domain Check" and "User Check" unchecked ?
Is there anything I need to watch out for ?
Read the following link and it seems I should be able to accomplish it this way.

If you are moving users between server without deleteing them from the original machine, and they share the same external dns server, then you might need to disable the "Domain Check" option. Without disabling it, DA will tell you that the domain already exists in your system (on the external machine). When you disable the "Domain Check" and leave Zone Transfer enabled, DA will blindly add the domain to the exernal machine (it still checks locally of course), and will overwrite any zone information that might already be there.
