Change Auditor – Coordinator OS Compatibility and Agent Installation Requirements (4383309)

Coordinator OS Compatibility and Agent install on DC.

1. Coordinator OS Compatibility:
   Can multiple Windows Server versions (e.g., Windows Server 2019 and 2022) be used for different Change Auditor Coordinators within the same environment while connecting to the same database?

2. Agent Installation on Domain Controllers:
   When installing the Change Auditor agent on an Active Directory Domain Controller (or member server) for the first time, is a system reboot required?

1. Coordinator Operating System Compatibility

The underlying Windows Operating System version of Change Auditor Coordinators is not a limiting factor, provided that:

• The operating system is supported by the installed version of Change Auditor.
• All Coordinators in the environment are running the same version of Change Auditor.

✅ Example:
If the environment is running Change Auditor 7.6.2, all Coordinators (regardless of OS version, such as Windows Server 2019 or 2022) must be on version 7.6.2.

✅ Key Point:

• Version consistency across Coordinators is mandatory.
• OS version consistency is not required (as long as supported).

2. Agent Installation on Domain Controllers

• A reboot is not required when installing the Change Auditor agent for the first time on:
  • Active Directory Domain Controllers
  • Member servers

✅ In most deployment scenarios, the agent installation completes successfully without requiring any system restart.

Additional Notes

• Always verify that the chosen Windows Server versions are supported by your specific Change Auditor release.
• Ensure proper communication between Coordinators and agents after deployment.
• Follow standard best practices for deployment in production environments, including maintenance windows where appropriate.
