A clone is no different than moving the physical drive.

There are possibilities for making this happen, but it is NOT plug and play.

Macrium Reflect has a ReDeploy function that may work.

Or, Sysprep in WIndows.

But...when was the last time this Win2003 server was reinstalled? It might be time for a new install anyway.

As said....a clone is no different than moving the physical hard drive.

It might work, it might fail completely.
A 10 year old install of Server2003?
I'm predicting massive fail if connecting to any current hardware.

But, you might get lucky.
