If you need to upgrade your Security
Center
system from an earlier version to 5.7, you must go through a
series of preparatory steps.
What you should know
- Different versions of Security
Center
Client can coexist on the same machine, but different versions of Security
Center Server cannot. Not all
current settings are kept if you uninstall your current software version before
installing the new one.
- If the Active Directory role is not on the same domain as the Active Directory
it is synchronizing with, you must set up a domain trust relationship. For more
information on setting up domain trust relationships, see your Microsoft
documentation.
Procedure
-
If you are running Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 R2,
you must install Microsoft hotfix KB2588507.
NOTE: This hotfix is not required for SV appliances.
-
If you are running a version of Windows prior to Windows 10, you must install
Microsoft hotfix KB2919355, followed by Microsoft hotfix KB2999226.
-
If you are running Microsoft SQL Server 2005, install a more recent version of
the database server.
Security
Center
5.7 is not compatible with Microsoft SQL Server
2005. (see the software requirements for a list
of compatible versions). For more information on how to upgrade your SQL
Server, refer to your Microsoft documentation.
-
If you have an Active Directory role in your current system, make sure that the
Windows user configured to connect to the Windows Active Directory has Read
access to the accountExpires attribute.
Starting from
Security
Center 5.2 SR6,
a new standard Windows Active Directory attribute (
accountExpires) is
used by the Active Directory role to import users and cardholders to
Security
Center. The new attribute sets an
expiration date for imported cardholders in
Security
Center, and changes the status of
imported users to inactive after the specified date.
CAUTION:
If the
Windows user does not have Read access to the accountExpires
attribute, all cardholders and credentials previously imported from the
Windows Active Directory are deleted the next time you synchronize Security
Center with your Windows Active Directory after the upgrade.
