Windows 2000 to 2003 upgrade

[henniae]

LMS 2.5.1

Windows 2000

My server admins want me to upgrade from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003.

Can I just do a windows upgrade to 2003 on my existing Windows 2000 LMS 2.5.1 system?

or

Can I take a LMS backup off a Windows 2000 server and restore it on a Windows 2003 server? If I have a clean install of Windows 2003 done on my existing server and then do a clean install of LMS 2.5.1, can I take a backup of LMS done on the Windows 2000 server and restore it on the Windows 2003 server?

Are there any other options to

upgrade Windows on my LMS 2.5.1 system?
