Question Migration from Linux BIND to Windows DNS

Background: I am a very new to Linux and BIND.

Scenario: My environment has a Linux server hosting a freeware application called, "DNS Manager". The freeware is obsolete and holds no support. "DNS Manager" serves as an interface to BIND on my Linux server.

Goal: I want to retire the original BIND Linux server and establish a new DNS Windows server. What is an approach to migrate from the old BIND Linux server to a new DNS Linux server? Are there tools that can perform this kind of migration? The transition will serve as a healthy challenge.

Default are you insane?

Are you insane? Why in the world change something reliable?
I'm very shure that windows dns server has no extra reliability to offer than the BIND.
You should probably re-consider the options.

You can use free control panel software such as webmin for BIND on Linux itself. FYI, there is no migration tool for BIND.

I think going to windows is the wrong direction for DNS server for sure.

I would suggest WEBMIN to manage the DNS
