If you want to apply a hotfix, service pack, or new version to an existing Windows agent, you can use one of two methods. You can run the setup program for the update on a local agent computer. Alternatively, you can use the Windows console for Secure Configuration Manager to update multiple agent computers concurrently. For more information about distributing the update to multiple agents, see Installing or Updating Agents on Remote Computers. To update a single, local agent computer, complete the following steps.
NOTE:When you upgrade an agent, the setup program keeps the existing agent settings, such as the credentials for the Windows agent service.
To use the setup program for updating a Windows agent:
Log in to the agent computer with an administrator account.
Run the setup program for the service pack or hotfix from the root folder of the update kit.
Follow the instructions until you have finished installing the update.
