Is it possible to take a hard drive with windows 2003 and install it in an second, identical, Server (In case of an emergency where the first server breaks)

-

hi,

what happen if remove hard drive server 1 (dell poweredge sc440 2.8ghz windows server 2003) , install in quasi-identical server 2 (dell poweredge sc440 3.4ghz)? will windows server license still valid? if not, quite easy re-activate it?

i need know cause need implement backup plan our server, in case if breaks. need , running few hours after breaks cause loose money every minute it's down. plan purchase identical server backup. whole disk images of server 1 every night, if hard drive fails we're covered.

any ideas please?

for practical reasons, yes, if have identical hardware chassis, , move drive on it, should fine.  though, looks need think through going dr.  if going design high availible stratagey company, , state losing money while it's down... need think more 1 server disk swap. 

but basics, yes if have new identical server, should able move drives in case of hardware failure, if os corrupted, moving drives not help.

:p advice offered, if need more advised seek council , advice of paid professionals. answer 42, or reboot.
