1. load new server
2. put it on network
3. copy files
4. decom old box
There is a tool called FSMT (file server migration tool) from Microsoft that can help you greatly.
you just cant use the same name if you want a smooth transition (you can however do SMB redirection to trick clients into using the same name, which in turn maps to another name....fsmt sets up SMB redirection if I recall correctly...or rather, can set it up)
