How to move a site?

[Guest]

Hey Guru's,
This weekend I'm replacing a server that my intranet lives on with new
hardware and I'd like to know if there are instructions on how to move the
front page 2002 site? I can't find it on technet.

I'm in an AD 2003 network and the server is a Windows 2003 Server with
frontpage 2002 extenstions. The folks who edit the site are using frontpage
2003. I'm planning to replace the server with a new server that has the same
name by coping the files off the old server, remove the old server from the
domain, join the new server to the domain with the same name and finally move
the files back to the new server.

Basically, it will be like I had to rebuild from a hardware failure.

Can anyone detail what i may need to do besides moving the files? Should I
install frontpage 2003 extensions?

Thanks for your help

There are no FP 2003 server extensions. Windows 2003 uses FP 2002
extensions.

From one of the client machines that has the full web site, do a full
publish of the web site to the new server. Don't *copy* pages.

Thanks Tom, As you can see I don't know much about FP since I thought
FrontPage 2003 had its own extensions.
