To upgrade your Security
Center system from
5.1 to 5.7, you have the choice to do it in two or three
steps.
What you should know
Security
Center
5.7 is backward compatible with the three previous versions.
This means that a server or a workstation that is three versions old can connect to the
5.7 Directory, but a server or a workstation that is four
versions old cannot. If you plan to upgrade your system in stages, you must follow a
two-step upgrade process when you upgrade from a system more than three versions old.Procedure
