swicthing from BIND to MS DNS

I

I have a server from 1and1 which came with plesk pre-installed. It appears plesk is using BIND as the name server. I'd like to use the MS name server (windows 2008 server). However, i dont seem to have the option to install the microsoft dns service. Going the normal route through windows i dont have the option to install the dns service.

how would i go about adding the windows DNS? I'm just guessing i dont have the option to add it because of plesk.

thanks
 
it would appear this has nothing to do with plesk - turns out the server is running windows 2008 web edition which apparently does not allow the MS dns service to be installed. The R2 version does.

So on a somewhat related tangent - anyone know of a quick and easy way to import a bunch of DNS records from an MS DNS server to BIND dns server?
