To upgrade your Security Center system to a
collaborative decision management system, you must install Genetec Mission Control™ on all Security Center servers that host the Directory and Incident
Manager roles and on all Security Center client
workstations.
Before you begin

Notes for known issues, supported upgrade paths, system requirements, and other
information about the release. See the most recent version of the release notes.
- Close all applications related to Microsoft Management Console (MMC), such as Services,

Directory role.

the Incident Manager role.
