Endpoint Protection

I added a second computer to use as SEPM for clients to connect to.  I added the server (server 2) as an additional site using the Embedded Database server.  When I launch the console on Server 2, I can see all the clients saying they are online with a remote site (Server 1).  I set Priorites on Server 2 so that Server 2 would be 1 and Server 1 would be priority 2.  I waited 24 hours for replication.  Server 2 shows that replication occurred with Server 1, however Server1 does not show that replication occurred on its end.

I then shut down the Embedded database server and the SEPM on Server 1 to see if clients were connecting with Server 2.  Clients try to connect with Server 2 but I get the followng error in client.

The request was not in the expected format

I can reach the console to Server 2 from a web browser on the client and verifed the Secars is working as well.

Any other suggestions as to why my clients are not connecting to the new server?

See if this article helps:

Error 109: "The request was in a format that the server did not expect" appears in Troubleshooting > Connection Status

You will want to run the SymHelp tool to help diagnose the issue.

I ran the Support tool and below is the error message I receive:

Service "Teefer2" is not configured and operating properly.  Service is not installed"

Are both SEPM is your scenarion of the same version? What is it exactly?
