Installing a new Windows 2003 SBS domain controller

Tags: sbs, domain, 2003, controller, new
We have bought a new server with Windows 2003 Standard SBS. I want to replace my current server (running Windows 2003 Server) with this new one. The old server has:

1. Domain Controller
2. File Server (all clients save on this server)
3. Has Fax Services enabled

How can I make the transition from one server to another as smooth as possible? That 's apart from copying the files, move the Active Directory to the new server, as well as the copying the Faxes to that new server.
