replacing windows 2000 with windows 2003

Hi everyone -
I just want to confirm i am on the right track -
I need to replace a windows 2000 server with windows 2003 - except for the data that is on the windows 2000 server nothing else gets moved - meaning i am building completely different groups, applying group policy on the windows 2003 server. The company is using POP email (hosted). This company wants to tear down their entire existing infrastructure (all new desktops etc)

My question is do i simply create new domain on windows 2003, create AD users and groups, simply transfer all the data from the old server to the new server, mimic shares from the old server to new server, write login scripts on the new server, join all new desktops to the new domain (windows 2003), make new server dhcp server, setup dns on new server, load all relevant applications on new desktops and test away -

I am sorry for asking this silly question, however this is my first roll out and i want to be sure i am not missing anything -
