How to set up new computer to replace Win2000 Server

[Vince]

I just got a new and much needed server to replace the one I am running now.
I want to make the transition as smooth as possible for the users. Is there
any documentation as to the best practice for doing this.
Some concerns: I can't name the new system the same as the old until I am
ready to take the old off the network but I have many shares on the old that
need to come over smoothly. I have hardware that needs to be moved over to
the new system (i.e. external scsi starage box and an AIT-1 Library). These
are a few of the many things going through my head.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Vin
