fix

Before you can upgrade an agent on a machine that has a Security Manager console installed, you must first upgrade the console.

To upgrade the consoles and then the agent:

  1. Run SM51000_SP1.exe from an agent machine that has a console installed. 
  2. Complete the steps in the installation wizard to upgrade the console.
  3. Perform a Managed Computer Scan on the central computer. Verify the agent machine is listed in the Pending Agents > Installation folder in the Monitor console.
  4. Right-click the agent.
  5. Click Approve.
  6. Right-click the Installation folder.
  7. Click Install All Approved Agents Now to push out the updates for the agent. 

 To verify the version of the agent, click Infrastructure Components > Agents and scroll over to the version column.
