Quite honestly, most of these decisions were already made before I started on this project ... so I'm pretty much stuck with this solution and I need to run with it.

How would you go about making this transition?? I was thinking of doing the following:

1.) Install Server 2008 and SQL 2008 in cluster mode on the second server

2.) Backup and restore the DB's from the PROD server and restore them onto the second server

3.) The rebuild the PROD server and add it to the exisiting cluster

Does that make sense?? How would I transfer the system databases over??
