Before upgrading any Secure Configuration Manager components, review the following considerations:
When you upgrade Core Services, the process also upgrades the Web console and Secure Configuration Manager database as needed.
The Web console requires the Analytics Database, which is a component of the Dashboard. Before you log in to the Web console, ensure that the Analytics Database has been installed or upgraded to the appropriate version. Use the setup.exe or NetIQDashboard.msi file for the Dashboard.
If you are using Secure Configuration Manager with an operating system and/or a database version that is no longer certified, please contact NetIQ Technical Support to migrate to a certified version of the operating system and/or the database. For more information about certified operating system and database versions, see the Secure Configuration Manager Technical Information web page.
