What is the process to upgrade a server (hardware) running Server 2003 to new hardware...possibly running server 2008?

Hi,

In the Migrating Windows Small Business Server to New Hardware white paper, Some steps:
Evaluate the current status of the source server.
Install Windows SBS 2003 and join the domain.
Transfer Exchange Server 2003 settings and folders.
Migrate shared folders and data folders.
Install and configure the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Configure Windows SBS 2003 settings.
Migrate Internet Information Services (IIS) Web sites.
Install and migrate Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
Migrate Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server settings.
Migrate Microsoft SQL Server™ databases.
Remove the source server from the network.
Thanks
