Rebuilding a 2003 R2 DFS server to Server 2008 R2

Hi,

I have two Server 2003 R2 servers running DFS.

One of the servers is having issues and i want to replace it with a 2008 R2 Standard server.  Unfortunatly i must move the servers name to the new server as there are some standard shares which have yet to be moved to DFS so i cant just add the new server to the DFS.  Its a VMware server and the file stores are RDM so i can just connect them to the new server and match everything back up so the Standard shares will be easy.  What i need to know is if  i can just export the DFS settings from the 2003 server and re-import them back into the 2008?  And if so what do i need to actually transfer?  It replicates between two sites and im worried it will just delete all the data.

We are using domain based DFS and i believe the server I want to rebuild it the root server for the drives.

Thanks in advance for the help.

David
