Migrating Network Homes from 10.4.9 Server to a New 10.4.9 Server

Hi: I am getting ready to replace an aging Xserve G4 running MOSXS 10.4.9 with a new Intel Xserve running MOSXS 10.4.9. Open Directory on the Xserve G4 contains about 100 user accounts that use Network Home Directories hosted on an AFP volume on the same server. Can anyone recommend the best way to move the users, including all network home directories, from the old server to the new one? I've used a variation of the procedure in the article, "Migrating LDAP Users and Passwords to a Clean 10.4 Server" to rebuild a 10.4 server while preserving user accounts + passwords and it worked well. I can use that same method here, but I'm wondering if there is a better method. Is there a best practice for migrating OD user + computer accounts, including Network Home Directories, from one MOSXS to another? Thanks, Oliver
