If I upgrade Change Auditor Coordinators to 6.9, is it a requirement to upgrade the Change Auditor Agents on the domain controllers or can those stay at 6.8 for the time being? Is it known if this would break anything?
If I upgrade Change Auditor Coordinators to 6.9, is it a requirement to upgrade the Change Auditor Agents on the domain controllers or can those stay at 6.8 for the time being? Is it known if this would break anything?
According to the Release Notes for 6.9, "The Change Auditor 6.9 agent requires .NET 4.5.2".
Solved: As a follow-up, in reviewing the Change Auditor 6.9 Release Notes PDF, "Previous versions of Change Auditor agents (5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8) can connect and work with the new
Change Auditor 6.9 coordinator. Direct upgrades to 6.9 are supported from versions 6.0, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, and 6.8.". So according to this, the domain controllers having 6.8 agents is a supported scenario and will work 6.9 coordinators.
But...I think you are correct, David, about the agent not reporting unless .Net 4.6.1 is installed. Nothing reported for several days while I was performing the upgrades. I upgraded .Net to 4.6.1 on one server with 4.5 installed. Once it completed its reboot and I logged in, it started reporting again. Thanks for the tip!
