May we know what are you planning exactly.

    I'm looking to decommission a couple of our current GTM sync group members. I was primarily looking for some information on caveats or other "gotchas" to ensure any function the master server currently serves is seamlessly migrated to other members that will remain in the sync group. Critical things to verify/validate prior/after, etc.

      Its pretty much same as your upgrade method I'd say.

      1. Take GTM out of sync group
      2. Disable Listeners
      3. Disable Interfaces   

       

      And when you add a new GTM to the sync group, its the reverse of above, obviously with other pre-checks done.
