Question : Replace Exchange 2003 server with Exchange 2010 Server

We are installing a 2008 member server with exchange 2010 into a 2003 domain. Currently have one exchange 2003 on a 2003 member server with no front end. Once 2010 is completely installed and setup correctly, we want to completely replace the Exchange 2003 server without too much hassle. Here are my questions:

- Can we move over all mailboxes to new server and disconnect old server, then rename the new server with the old servers name & IP?
- What is the fastest and easiest way to move over mailboxes?
- Can we move the SSL certificate that the old server had to the new server?
- What is the best way for Outlook 2003 and 2007 clients to get connected with the least amount of interruptions?

I am currently following the link below starting from step 6: (we do not have a SBS, but I have yet to find a better step by step link)
