First you must move all the fsmo roles to another DC. They are the RID master, Infrastructure master, Schema master, Domain naming master & PDC emulator.
If you are unfamiliar with these terms, you should either do some serious studying prior to implementing this change. Or contract a certified engineer.
Of course, all of the other services (DNS,DHCP) will need to be moved as well.
Is there a particular reason why it needs to keep the same name? What about a slight change to it? That way you could bring in the new DC and then pull the roles to it. While transfering the other information through the network connection. THEN, remove the original DC from network.

Thanx for all I've found documentations from planning for a W2000 DC. Poster rated this answer.
