It's pretty much the same as any migration, but you will have to do a 'HOT' P2V. (Shut down every Service you possibly can).
Save the P2V info on very safe medium. R2 the bare metal with HyperV Import the P2V info and boot your 2003 guest. I recall V2i to VHD conversion is quite easy - so Ghost should work too. I don't HyperV, I ESX, but I'm sure the methodology is the same.

To me it's like a swing migration like an SBS swong, but in this case it's a P2V "swing". I have a physical server with 2003 R2 on it. On this same physical box I'd like to put 2008 R2 w/ Hyper-V on it and somehow P2V the 2003 R2 machine onto it - anyone have any ideas? This server is a DC - can Ghost or something pull that off?
