I think there is some fundamental confusion here.  WinCVS is a GUI front
end to a CVS or CVSNT server that is already running somewhere else.
Nothing could be running under WinCVS on the WinXP box...

Assuming that you have a CVSNT server running on that current WinXP box,
yes, you can simply install CVSNT on the new Win2003 server and copy the
repository from the WinXP box over to the new location on the Win2003
box.

Outstanding sandboxes will need updates for the switch since the server
PC name and directory structure might end up being different.  Best to
commit everything from everywhere and then release all sandboxes before
moving.
