sbs2003

Today we have a small network with 5 clients and a Windows SBS 2003 as a server. Now have we bought a new server with Windows SBS 2008.

How do I easiest:

Switch the clients working with the old server, to work with the new server? Is it just to run http://domain/connectcomputer again?
Move the data in "My Documents" from the old server to the new server?

And finally, is there anything other that I have to think of when changing server? It will be a new clean installation.
