Moving Win2k Server to new hardware

by don keller . Updated 25 years, 6 months ago

I have a Windows 2000 Server installation running on an IBM Netfinity server. I have everything setup EXACTLY the way I want, however, I am now faced with the task of moving it to a new, more advanced, IBM Netfinity server. I don’t want to have toset anything up again on the new machine–I would like to simply move everything as-is to the new server. The process should hopefully be seamless to the clients that connect to the server since the new box will take on the same name, IP addresses,services, etc., as the old box.

The question is…how do I go about performing this task? I’m having a hard time finding anything about migrating to new hardware…everything I read simply discusses the process of migrating from one OS to a new OS.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
