Update from Version 7.3.x / 19.0.2.x

The following steps must be performed to do an update of Enterprise Manager for SCCM Version 7.2.x / 19.0.2.x:

EM Server

  • Create a full backup of your EM database.
  • Create a full image, or at least an image of the EM Server file system.
  • Run Server Setup and follow the instructions.
    The main setup launches a migration wizard that converts all objects in the database to the new version.

In the event of any errors, a new View Log button is displayed. Click this button to open a file containing detailed information in front of other windows. In the case of errors, this file must be saved and kept for analysis purposes.

  • Once the migration wizard has completed successfully, further steps are performed by the setup function.
  • Setup is now complete, and the EM master server has been successfully updated. We recommend updating the Distribution Points used by Enterprise Manager next.

If you have switched your web console to SSL/ HTTPS, please check this after the update. By default, the HTTP port is used again.

 

EM Distribution Point

Run the EM Distribution Point Setup and follow the steps or use alternative/automated methods for updating the EM-DP service.

EM Agent
