Hi，
What do you want to preserve/migrate?
Since the new server is in same organization, the mailbox migration should be easy: Manage on-premises mailbox moves in Exchange Server
Do you mean article like this: Copy receive connector to another Exchange Server
Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
Some settings are saved in AD while some not, it should be a big work if you want to copy everything to the new server manually.

Hi,
1 Same as you first installed, check the Exchange Server system requirements and Exchange Server prerequisites.
At least a GC is on the site that you installed Exchange, FSMO roles are required to transfer to that DC.
2 We don't move the database unless there's issue in it, just move all the mailboxes you need via move request or migration batch.
If you mean transport rules, it doesn't need to create/migrate, it willl exist in the new server.
3 You can refer to this article: https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/165831-how-to-decommission-exchange-server-after-migration

Hi,
It seems the initial question has been answered, would you accept this as answer and start a new thread for other questions?
You'd better post it with a snapshot of the outlook alert and the certificate information with personal information covered.
