I'm going to swap a gateway (yes gateway) server with a
Compaq Server.
How do I go about backing up the existing AD/files on the
existing server and what do I transfer to the new server?!

THANKS!!
 
What you would want to do, is first bring your new server online and
join the domain as another AD controller. This will then copy of your
domain information from the old server to the new. After you do this, be
sure to transfer the Operations Master roles to the new server (I think
there are 5 total). Also be sure to make the new server a Global Catalog
server before you take the old one offline. Here's a link that talks
about the Operations Master Roles:
