New server hardware

i have server 2008 32 bit , need move new hardware running 2008 64 bit.  have tried doing recommended post:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/windowsbackup/thread/057fe602-4c52-46b0-a874-b18ff5706e92

however, because going 64 bit, backup not work.  server domain controller, dns, , file server.  appreciated.

hi,

on new hardware install windows 2008 x64, join domain.

run dcpromo on , make additional domain controller in existing domain.

trnasfer fsmo roles , time server role new dc

configure clients point new dc ip preffered dns server name resolution

if not want reuse old hardware, suggest let run dc, provide redundancy , load balancing

otherwise can run dcpromo on , decommision server. make sure remove instances dns ad sites , services console
