I'm pretty sure if you do a disk to disk clone using the DOS version of Ghost (there should be an option to create a floppy) that you should be ok as this will just perform a binary copy from disk to disk.

I can't remember but i think there is a server version of ghost but i don't use it so i'm not certain.
 
Quick note. For successful cloning, both boxes need to be relatively similar in hardware configuation or you will be in for TONS of grief trying to get HAL in line.

Also, is this an SBS server that you are going to clone? Keep in mind that M$ created life in such a way that you cannot have two SBS servers in the same domain, even when you are trying to migrate from one machine to another.
