4.5. to 5.1 SEC upgrade - SEC and SEC DB Server on same DC?

NikolaFBA

I need your help!
Unlike in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHjORAfwP-8

I have on the same DC1 SEC and SEC DB Server. Will that make problem during 4.5. to 5.1 SEC upgrade?
Thanx ina advance for your help and answer!

Regards!

Nikola

P.S. What would be the best thing to do? Can we install SEC Server cosnole on other DC and update DB on
DC1?

    Hello NikolaFBA,

    I would suggest you continue with this wizard - migrations are non-destructive i.e. they will not change or interrupt a working configuration. But then, it does seem strange that the wizard fires. IIRC, SUM has been introduced with SEC 4.0 and thus it should have already performed the migration.

    So for now just cancel the wizard. Check if you still have legacy policies (please see chapter 20 in the SEC4.5 Console Help) and also find out the account used in the regular updating policies - this might be the sophos update account you've mentioned. As the password should have "survived" migration you don't have to know it (it should be "pre-set" in the Default updating policy). But you can change it if you wish - please see How to change the password for Sophos Update Manager (SUM) (and you might want to (re-)read User accounts required by Sophos Enterprise Console).

    Did you ever get rid of EM Library (apart from uninstalling it)? Please see these threads for details. While the 5.x manuals no longer mention EM Library (at least I've found no reference) and it was expected that you remove it in one of the later 4.x versions 5.x would still have to be able to handle a situation where it seems to be there. But guess it just consults the database and does not verify that the program's existence.
