I believe your best bet would be to:
1.Perform a good backup of the existing server.
2.Install windows on the new server, install AD with the same settings as the old server, same computer name, same domain name etc.
3.Make sure the old server is disconnected from the network. Perform a restore of your backup to the new server.
4.Once you are certain the new server is functioning properly with the values of the old server and you can login and the event logs are clean.
5. Proceed with the rest of the SBS install.
