Main issue is, the new server is going to have the same computer name.

So

First join the new server (Web2) to the farm
Remove the original server(Web1) from the farm and domain
Rename the new (Web2) to Web1?

As my home page is

Http://Web1/Pages.Default.aspx and I want to keep it the same.

Thanks
