Can I move SQL Server to a new machine (including master/model/msd

Hi
We are moving a SQLServer environment from one machine to another. (SQL2000
sp3a)
Can I
- Install SQLServer on the new machine
- backup all databases including master, model , msdb + all user databases
on the source machine
- restore all databases (including mast , model, msdb + user databases) on
the destination machine
and expect SQL server to work as it did on my source machine? (Note in my
case the instance name will be different on the destination machine since the
instance name was the same as the machine name in the orig source :
npboffsql2\npboffsql2
Or do I need to follow article 314546 (i.e. only move user databases and
rebuild the missing logins etc?)
Tia,

You could follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224071/
If you wish to rename the server itself then you can follow
