Important install and upgrade information
Upgrading from version 2023.3 and earlier
Ivanti File Director doesn't provide an in-place upgrade path for customers using appliance versions 2023.3 or earlier. Instead, deploy new appliances with the 2024.1 base image and then install the 2024.3 patch. For further information, see 2025.4 upgrade path in the online Help.
Windows 11 and Server 2022 Support
File Director 2021.3 and later versions of the Windows Client have been tested against both Windows 11 and Server 2022. Refer to the Ivanti Community documents for more information.
Box connector deprecation
Box connector is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. You can manage existing box map points, but we have removed the ability to add a new box map point from the Web Admin.
