Activate google calendar
Sync outlook with google calendar

- google has a full and official Microsoft Exchange Server interface implemented, so it's squeaky clean
Check the details were copied over OK
Set up the new computer
Sync google calendar back to your new Outlook.

I stopped using Outlook entirely and only ever use Google now. LOTS of benefits and functions (happy to make a list if you like).
