Updating SEP server from Server 2008 R2 to VM with Database on SQL VM

I currently have a Windows 2008 R2 standard server running the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager software with an embedded database. I want to move the SEPM to a WindowsServer Standard virtual machine and have the database housed on a SQL Windows Server Standard virtual machine. Any instructions or advice would help. Thanks in advance.
