Upgrade Requirements
New System Requirements
The following operating systems are no longer supported for use by the Security Controls console:
- Windows Server 2012 family
- Windows Server 2012 R2 family
A new version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 – 2022 is available, so this will likely be identified as missing during the prerequisite check of the upgrade process.
For a complete list of requirements for the console, your agentless clients and your agent-based clients, see System Requirements.
User Account Requirements for Performing an Upgrade
In order to perform an upgrade, your user account must meet the following requirements:
- The user performing the database upgrade must be a member of the db_owner role.
- If you have multiple consoles that share a database and are linking an additional console to a database that is already upgraded, the user account you use must be a member of the following database roles:
- db_datareader
- db_datawriter
- STExec
- STCatalogupdate
In addition, the service account used for background operations must be a member the db_owner role. If your account is a member of the db_securityadmin and db_accessAdmin roles, the database upgrade tool will automatically attempt to map and configure the required roles for you.
