  • Article

2/9/2009

You must upgrade all copies of MDM Administrator Tools to MDM 2008 SP1.

Important   To upgrade from MDM to MDM 2008 SP1, the administrator running the upgrade installers (Setup MSIs for MDM Enrollment Server, MDM Device Management Server, MDM Gateway Server, MDM Self Service Portal, MDM Administrator Tools) must be a member of both the SCMDM2008ServerAdministrators and SCMDMServerAdmins (SCMDM2008) administrator groups. If the user is not a member of the MDM Server Administrators group, Setup will fail. Ensure you log off and then on after changing permissions.

To upgrade MDM Administrator Tools

  1. On any server or computer that is running MDM Administrator Tools, on the MDM 2008 SP1 Setup menu, choose Administrator Tools.

  2. On the Administrator Tools Upgrade Wizard page, select the Upgrade Administrator Tools check box. Choose Next.

  3. Read the Microsoft Software License Terms, and then select the I accept the License Terms for Microsoft Software check box. Choose Next.

  4. On the Custom Setup page, if you do not require modifications and you want to install all tools, choose Next.

    You can select different components to install or upgrade. If you clear an option, it will uninstall. You must install MDM Group Policy extensions on 32-bit editions of a Microsoft Windows-based operating system, or the 64-bit edition of the Windows Vista operating system that has Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) already installed.

  5. If you have not already configured Microsoft Update on the server, a Microsoft Update page will appear that prompts you to configure the server for Microsoft Update. Make your selection, and then choose Next.

  6. On the Ready to upgrade Administrator Tools page, verify the information, and then choose Upgrade.

  7. Choose Finish.
