renewing Endpoint management server

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi there,
I have a question about renewing my main Endpoint management server.
The server is old and is giving me problems, so im planning to replace the old server soon.
I have one local site ( server1)
Under this site i have 3 servers:
- server1 (configured as failover with server2)
- server2
- db Server
I have to replace server1, what is the best procedure to do this?
Can i simply install a new management server and delete server1?
Also the local site under server tab in Endpoint manager is set on this server, do i need to replace this site to another server or is this just a name or something?
Hoping for some answers.
Thanks,
LEVD

Just follow the articles mentioned above for the SEPM migration from one machine to another - just deleting the olde server and installing the new one would not be a recommended approach.
Ok i will read the documents thank you.
But what about the fact i allready have 2 server and 1 DB server?
And what about the local site?
Thanks!
Hello levd,
I discussed your scenerio with senior engineers.
Can i simply install a new management server and delete server1?
----> Yes it's possible.
This approach should work because you already have failover & loadbalancing between both the SEPM's.
Only make sure while running management server you will select 2nd option i.e. Install an additonal management server to an existing site & point it to an existing SQL database.
Note: Before decommisoning SEPM1 remove SEPM1 entries from the SEPM2 server.
Remove from local site of SEPM2.
