Here is an article that discusses moving a Windows 2000 server to new
hardware. However it states that the procedure used in this article is not
recommended for Domain Controllers.

249694 How to Move a Windows 2000 Installation to Different Hardware
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=249694

If you must move your Domain Controller to new hardware I recommend calling
in and opening a support ticket with the Microsoft Windows Setup group so
they can tell you the best method of doing this.
