I don't know if this will run on a server OS or not, but when I need to install a new or larger hard drive into a machine I use Acronis Migrate Easy. It's free to use for 15 days which is plenty of time for a clone. It installs in Windows then does the work pre-boot after restarting. It's very fast. Clonezilla works well too and is ISO based. Not the most intuitive piece of software if you haven't used it before, but the prompts are too bad.

The current server is 2008 member server and the new server will be the same. The server houses SQL and Great Plains, something that would be easier to clone than copy over. Looking around, I see quite a few options: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_disk_cloning_software I don't mind paying for it as long as it works well, is pretty fast, and I don't have to spend lots of time getting it to work. Anyone have any favorites? Never having cloned servers before, suggestions appreciated.
