I also believe you would have to purchase new terminal services licenses for server 2008. I'm not positive about this but it would be an expensive mistake.

We are implementing a new Windows 2008 server to replace a Windows 2003 server. The 2003 system acts as a domain controller, the main Active Directory and runs terminal services for 25 users.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have a step by step porocess to duplicate the environment from one server to another?<br />
<br />
We would like to set up the new server separately and then install and replace the previous server.
