Same domain?
* Build the new server and point the AutodiscoverInternalURI to the same setting as the existing server
* test connectivity to internet and other points in the domain
* when you’re ready to cut over point your internal DNS, external DNS, to the new server and run the hybrid configuration wizard – add the new server, remove the old one.
* test outlook connectivity and autodiscover
Done.

How to check Linux Server Load?
find the user to kill it or restart http daemon
While this was something I was taught and did at the start of my career, I have since learnt that waiting for a load spike and responding to it in this way is something of an anti-pattern.

There are lots of tools to prevent that. I use fail2ban on my edge for HTTP[S] traffic.
Sometimes I would see mysql user causing the load spikes
Then you need to start by analyzing the query performance, optimizing the database and the IO paths.
