This chapter describes how to upgrade Windows agent components and how to migrate a version 7.0.4 or 8.x Windows or UNIX agent to a new version 9.2 AppManager repository (QDB). For information about upgrading the UNIX agent, see the AppManager for UNIX and Linux Servers Management Guide, available on the AppManager Modules Documentation page.
For Windows computers, the agent consists of the following components:
NetIQ AppManager Client Resource Monitor (NetIQmc) Windows service
NetIQ AppManager Client Communication Manager (NetIQccm) Windows service
Local repository
AppManager for Microsoft Windows module
The setup program upgrades the agent services and local repository first, and then upgrades the AppManager for Microsoft Windows module.
Instead of using the agent name used in source QDB for adding agents in the destination QDB, you can now use FQDN for adding agents, see Adding agent to destination QDB as FQDN.
