Migrate SBS 2k3 to new 2k3 on a different hardware

Hello,

a customer of mine would like to purchase a new hardware to replace an old
server with SBS 2003 running full of users/mailboxes/secured shared folders
etc.

There will be no option to move whole image/systemstate to the new hardware
because of its differences. Or does anyone know about guide to move system
state backup to a new hardware?

I found only a document from Microsoft on migration from sbs 2k to sbs 2k3
(different domain). Will there be any difference in the process or any
problems with the migration if I would follow the same document on 2k3-2k3
environmnet?
