Overview​

This article lists the steps to perform the Netwrix Access Analyzer upgrade.

Upgrading Access Analyzer Console​

Follow these steps to upgrade the Access Analyzer Console:

  1. Download the latest version of Netwrix Access Analyzer Management Platform from the My Products ⸱ Netwrix 🡥.

    IMPORTANT: Unblock the installer. In Properties, select the Unblock checkbox and save the changes.

  2. Verify that no Access Analyzer jobs are running. Check Task Manager > Details.

  3. Uninstall the Access Analyzer Console using Control Panel or Apps & Features.

  4. Hold Shift, right-click the Console installer, and select Copy as path. In an elevated Command Prompt, paste the path and run it to start the installation.

  5. Complete the installation and launch the Console instance. This should start the upgrade wizard.

    IMPORTANT: If the upgrade wizard does not start, run the following commands in PowerShell:

    cd $Env:SAINSTALLDIR
    .\StealthAUDIT.EXE /Upgrade

  6. Review upgrade conflicts. Click View Conflicts to review them, then select an item in the Changes window and click Undo.

  7. On the Solution Set Files tab, click Advanced. Verify that the Active Directory solution, File System solution, and any custom solution groups in the job tree are set to Upgrade in Place.

  8. Proceed with the upgrade wizard to complete the setup.

Upgrading Sensitive Data Discovery​

IMPORTANT: If licensed and used in your environment, upgrade the Sensitive Data Discovery (SDD) add-on after upgrading the Access Analyzer Console.

  1. Download the latest SDD version from the My Products ⸱ Netwrix 🡥 and transfer the installer to the Access Analyzer Console server.

  2. Before running the installer, unblock it. In Properties, select the Unblock checkbox and save the changes.

NOTE: For Netwrix Access Analyzer versions 12.0 and later, the SDD module is no longer a separate installer. It is bundled with both the Netwrix Access Analyzer Management Platform and Netwrix Access Analyzer FSAA Proxy Service installers when the active license includes the Sensitive Data module.
