SBS Install

While I've deployed many Windows servers, my experience with SBS is somewhat
limited.

Scenario: Small business with three users/workstations is presently on SBS
2000. It resides on an older server of questionable reliability.
A new server has been purchased and everything is going to be transferred to
it. When SBS is installed it detects the original server and will not join
the domain...a new domain must be created.

Question: What is the best way to bring the new server online and transfer
the information /settings from the old server to the new server?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
