in case can add new server domain , configure required without removing old server. once initial setup of new server done, backup entire database existing server , restore on new 1 along ntfs/share permissions (use robocopy). can alter offline mapped folders settings use new server share name. test on few users first ensure works , move users new share on new machine. try testing before full migration.
