moving server to a new box

We are moving an older server to a new box. We will also change our
disk/folder layout of all database files to distribute IO etc.. There are
about 100 user databases with a lot of logins and jobs. I need your opinion
if my plan will work out.
1. Disconnect source server from network and stop all jobs
2. Detach all user databases
3. Full backup MSDB and Master databases
4. Attach all user databases to the new server
5. Restore master
6. Restore MSDB
I have done detach and attach databases a lot of times, so I am fine on
that. I am just not sure, if I restore master and MSDB, will all my logins
(with server level permissions), linked servers and all my jobs (including
maintenance plans) work? or is there any thing I need to watch?
Thanks.Have a look here:
