How to move Windows 2000 Server to new hardware?

What's the best method to move Windows 2000 Server to new
hardware? Clean install and add settings manually or is
there a faster, more reliable solution? This is a basic
server, nothing special, few applications, only 7 users,
some printers, that's it. Looking forward to your ideas.

You could create an image and dump to the new one, then
try to fix minor incompatible issues. However, the best
way is CLEAN INSTALL because Windows 2000 is hardware
dependable (NT technology!)
