Active Administrator 8.7 - Release Notes

Upgrade and compatibility

Note the following when upgrading Active Administrator.

•
All GPO changes must be published before beginning the upgrade from Active Administrator 8.6.2 or earlier.
•
Active Administrator 8.7 supports in-place upgrades from Active Administrator versions 8.4,8.5 and 8.6. To perform an in-place upgrade to Active Administrator 8.7 from a version of Active Administrator that is earlier than 8.4, you must first upgrade to Active Administrator 8.4.
•
Installing Active Administrator 8.7 onto an existing Active Administrator installation will result in the removal of the earlier version. Active Administrator databases, both live and archive databases, will be upgraded automatically to version 8.7.
•
A database upgraded by Active Administrator 8.7 cannot be used by previous versions and the database upgrade cannot be rolled back.
•
Data within the Active Administrator share can be used by Active Administrator 8.7.
•
If you use group policy to deploy the Workstation Logon Auditing Agents (WLAA), the 8.7 installation process will not update the agent on the user workstations. You must replace the install package at the software distribution share with the 8.7 version. Computers will upgrade to the Active Administrator 8.7 WLAA the next time they are started.
•
The Active Directory Health features available in Active Administrator 8.7 each require a separate license. If you do not have a license file to apply, the module does not appear in Active Administrator. You will see the Certificate Management feature listed under the Configuration module, but when you select the feature, a warning displays that a license is required.
•
The Active Directory Health Analyzer agent must be upgraded to the current version.

Product licensing

You need either a trial or full license to use Active Administrator. If you have questions about your license, contact your sales representative.

NOTE: The full and evaluation versions of Active Administrator are identical. The license file is the sole determinant of program functionality. Limitations during the free 30-day trial period include:
•
Unlimited auditing of domain controllers.

Backing up your data

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Prior to upgrading Active Administrator, it is highly recommended that you back up your Active Administrator database files and the folders in the Active Administrator share to avoid any loss of data. Quest Software will not be able to recover your data.This includes the ActiveAdministrator.xml file and the Active Administrator registry key.

Prior to upgrading Active Administrator ensure you back up the Active Administrator share, any data files, ActiveAdministratror.xml, and export the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Quest\Active Administrator registry key.

•
The Active Administrator share is located at the root on the computer where Active Administrator is installed (C:\ActiveAdministrator). The Active Administrator share contains several folders that contain information, such as settings, templates, repositories, backup files, and log files. Back up the entire Active Administrator share.
•
The Active Administrator data files are located on the named data server. To identify the data server and database file, run the Active Administrator Server Configuration report from the Active Administrator Console (Settings | Configuration Report).
•
The ActiveAdministrator.xml file is in the folder where Active Administrator server is installed. The default location is C:\Program Files\Quest\Active Administrator\Server.
•
The registry key is located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Quest\Active Administrator.
