Removing the original server from the network

One server named ORIG_SERVER running Domino 5.0.3 has been the only server at this company and they have recently added a second server we'll call it NEW_SERVER. Replication has been setup on the server and they have migrated the databases using the 'move' command. They would like to remove ORIG_SERVER completely from their network. Question: What do I need to do inside of Domino to switch the 'primary' and only server for the domain to NEW_SERVER?
Make sure that all ACLs have this new server (or LocalDomainServers) in as Manager. You will also want to get the new server in ACLs as the Administrative server. This is especially important for the Domino Directory and admin4.nsf.
