That’s true, except their might be a hardware issue.
Does the new server have raid? Is it a dell, there are no DOS drivers,
so you cant ghost (There time intensive ways around that)...Plus there
is the issue anyway of making it boot if the new system does not have
drivers built into, or added to the previous install. A simpler solution
would be like IDR if he has BE already.
We need more info on your two hardware configs dude!

Use Ghost. I think it would be the fastest method.

Subject: Easiest way to move everything to new server
I have one W2K Server that I want to move everything lock, stock, and
barrel
to a new one -- all data, shares, and file permissions. What is the best
way?
My ideas:
1) Backup server with Backup Exec and restore to new server.
2) Copy data files and then import registry key
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
ala http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q125/9/96.asp
Your ideas?
