Assuming you want to move the AD domain info across then:
a) Join server to original domain
Install DNS on new server
b1) Run ADPREP from W2003 CD to install new 2003 objects
c) Run DCPromo to set up DC and let objects replicate across automatically.
d) Move FSMO roles across using AD MMCs
e) Run DCPromo on old server to remove it from its DC role
f) Retire old server

OP
Thanx a lot, It worked just fine.
 
 
P.S.: think that before runing DCPromo on the old server I had to set the new server as the Master operations server.
