Hello,

I am tasked with migrating a 2003 server to a new server and retiring the old. This is in a small office with one 2003 server and 10 XP desktops. The server hardware is not similiar at all. I have Norton Ghost 2003 but have only used it for cloning Win98 to idenical machines.

Should I even try to use ghost and sysprep?
What is the best practice in these circumstances?

Regards,

Jack

You most likely want to use SYSPART. The HALS will be different on those systems; thus, a Ghost image will most likely fail.
