How to best approach restoring a total system failure. (Wind

We are about to embark on a mission!

Situation:

Software: Server 2000 SP4, Exchange SP3, Veritas 9.1.
Things I am not sure of: If this server was also a Domain controller, still
trying to figure this out.

I am trying to piece together a game plan on setting everything back up. So
far this is what I got.

1. Install Server 2000 SP4.
2. Add machine to the domain (using same name as before... will this cause
issues in AD.. ie, will I have to remove the previous server name from AD,
then readd it?,.. will that screw anything up exchange wise?
3. Install Exchange 2000 SP3.
4. Using Veritas restore the mail boxes.

We do have veritas support subscription, so we can always call them and
spend hours on the phone if needed. I am more concerned about setting
everything up properly before restoring the mailboxes.
