One other question.
I have all the user files on the old DC.
I can copy from one to the other but how do I keep the permissions in place??
I will use xcopy \\olddc\users\*.* \\newdc\users\*.* /secvoyhkdr
This doesn't keep my permissions though...

Yeah, I think that's all you need to do. It just makes it and Exchange aware
of one another. We had to rebuild a DC recently, the other two dc's we have
hadn't had the domainprep run on them, and Exchange quit working (even though
the other two were global catalog servers), ran the domainprep and all was
happy again.
As others have said but just to sum it all up:
1. build up your new dc
2. move FSMO roles
3. dcpromo old dc to demote it
4. and wait, we typically give it at least 24 hours if not more......
At this point, you are in no hurry, you've replaced it with the new dc, just
let it sit for a day or two before removing it from the domain and scrapping
it.

The only thing that I’d add is some time in between each of those steps
for replication etc.. (this could be depending upon how big the OP’s
environment is) wasn’t stated in your message, although could be that it was
implied…

If the aging server is still up, add the new server DC promo move the
appropriate roles, DC promo (demote) the old one.
Exchange is smart enough to now of the change.
Am I missing something?

I have 3 DC's in my Domain. I am at the life's end of one of them. I
am building a server to replace it.
I need to know how to determine what roles this server has so I can be
sure to get them on the new server.
What is the best practice to replace a DC and to migrate the roles???
