blocking all connections for final cut over to new SQL server machine

Hi ALL,
I'm replaceing the old SQL server machine to the new & better SQL server
machine. i already done all the moves but in the final cut over planning, i
need some help. How can i restrict all users and applications from connecting
to the old machine. so that in the down time i can take the Final
Transactional log backup and restore to the new SQL server machine. i know i
can use Single user move or Change IP address to the old machine or i can
denay all users access. BUT i don't know which one is better way to do and
why?
are there any other way of doing this?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
THANKS
Nick
