Important upgrade information
This upgrade section contains functionality changes that have been introduced in Management Center v10.1 or above. Any information that is new to this release is listed as Management Center 2024.3.
When upgrading server and database infrastructure it is best to upgrade by no more than two major versions in each step. Upgrading three or four versions in one operation is not a method that has been tested and could produce unexpected behavior. For further details relating to upgrades and compatibility please refer to the following Ivanti Community article.
Windows Server
Management Center 2024.3 requires Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 or above. Microsoft mainstream support for both Windows Server 2008 and R2 ended on 13 January 2015, but Ivanti continues to support Windows Server 2008 R2 as a maintained platform.
Windows client
Support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 has been deprecated for the Management Center Deployment Agent; therefore, the 10.x Deployment Agent (and above) now requires Windows 7 SP1 or above and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 or above.
Microsoft extended support for Windows XP ended on 8 April 2014, mainstream support for Windows Vista ended on 10 April 2012.
In addition, both Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 must be updated to support SHA-256.
For details on SHA-256 requirements, please refer to the following Ivanti Community article.
SQL Server
Support for SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2 has ended; the Management Center 10.x (and above) Management Server now requires SQL Server 2012 SP2 or above. Microsoft mainstream support for SQL Server 2008 and R2 ended on 8 July 2014.
Please refer to the Required utilities and components section for further details.
IIS websites
Except when performing an evaluation install or an in-place upgrade, Management Center 2018.1 and above no longer installs into the default IIS website. It now creates and installs into a new website called Management which can have two bindings specified, one that uses host headers on port 80 and another on port 7751, which are both configurable during setup. To use host headers on port 80, the DNS servers must be updated (refer to the Ivanti User Workspace Manager help for further information). In-place upgrades install into the default website, if that is where Management Center was previously installed.
When installing the Management Center in evaluation mode, to simplify the evaluation process we use the default IIS website and port 80 in a similar method to previous 8.x installations.
Take care not to install into the default website if other applications are using it because Management Center now uses the root of the IIS website where it is hosted. Further information is available in the Install and Upgrade Help.
