Thanks to Chuck Benson for his help. Original question below.
----------
Add the new machine to the current domain as a slave server. This will
populate it with the files required. Then shut of NIS Server on the old
machine and change the ypservers map on the new server.
There are small variations in the maps used based on version (mostly
by manufacturer).
