Upgrade
GroupID 11 supports upgrade from the following:
- GroupID 10.0
- GroupID 9.0
Prerequisites for Upgrade
The following must be in place before you run the Upgrade wizard.
NOTE: In the following text, the term ‘source version’ refers to the GroupID version you are upgrading from.
-
For upgrade on a different box, the GroupID source version file system must be present on the GroupID 11 server. For that, do the following:
- On the GroupID source version server, for example, GroupID 10 server, go to [GroupID Installation Drive]:\Program Files\Imanami\ and copy the GroupID 10 folder.
- Go to the GroupID 11 server, create a path as follows, and paste the GroupID 10 folder
there:
C:\Program Files\Imanami\
On pasting the GroupID 10 folder, it will be as:
C:\Program Files\Imanami\GroupID 10\
-
The following applies to upgrade on a different box.
If a gMSA is used as the service account for an identity store in the source version, you must configure that gMSA on the GroupID 11 server before you upgrade.
To configure a gMSA, see the gMSA for Active Directory topic. -
A disabled identity store in the source version will not be upgraded to GroupID 11.
To upgrade a disabled identity store, you must enable it in the source version before upgrade. Then disable it in GroupID 11 immediately after upgrade. -
To upgrade schedules and Synchronize jobs on a different box, you must run a utility on the GroupID 11 server before running the Upgrade wizard. Contact Netwrix Customer Support for more info.
-
If you forget the passphrase you used to encrypt GroupID data, upgrade is not possible.
Upgrade Logs
Two log files are created on upgrade:
- File name: UpgradeLog
Path: X:[GroupID Installation folder]\Imanami\GroupID 11.0\GroupIDUpgradeTool\
(X represents the GroupID installation drive.) - File name: directorymanager11_Upgrade.log
Path: C:\ProgramData\Imanami\GroupID 11.0\Upgrade Tool\
(This file contains debug logs.)
