Does anyone know how to migrate SBS2000 onto new hardware? Because of it's 1 DC limitation I can't migrate the AD. I don't want to setup SBS from scratch. Pls help

SBS's licenses are that you can't have 2 servers with all the apps installed. Bring up a 2nd DC and let the 2 servers replicate. Once you are sure the replication is complete then transfer the FSMO roles to the new server. Back up the data from the SBS server install and then dcpromo the machine down. Install and promote the new SBS server and transfer the roles to it.
Hope this helps
