Hello,

Some more detail about the environment would be helpful in providing a recommendation. Is the Windows 2008 server running AD? What is it being used for currently?

Have you looked into using the migration tools that Microsoft provides? https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134039.aspx
