Rob,
Once removing the ".:" forward lookup zone you should be able to either
refresh the mmc or at most close and re-open the mmc to then be able to
enable forwarders... However, I'm a bit curious since the SBS integrated
setup should have removed that and then when you run the ICW and specify DNS
server addresses it will configure the DNS server to use the IP's you
specified as forwaders.

Hope that helps,
