new server?

[Guest chocbrandy]

I'm new to server migrations.....and need help..

 

I have new dell power edge 2950 that need to replace on old server. My

question is what is the best way to transfer all the data: (active directory,

DNS, sql express, dhcp, files and programs) settings and configuration from

the old server to new?

 

I created a complete backup of the old server including system state. I

tried to restore everything to the new one, but i'm gettting errors.

 

thanks, i appreciate the help.
