Hello Everyone,
Thanks in advance for your help.
Running Windows SBS 2008 with SEPM (11.0.4014.26) running on the server.
Clients are all Windows XP SP3.
For the past couple months clients have been failing to update, or randomly updating, not all machines are running with the most up to date versions of threat protection. On the Server side, it fails to connect with the reporting server, or sometimes fail to login to the admin console (only way to fix is reboot the server). Or to get the clients to update, reboot the server.
I noticed that there is a new version of SEPM (11.0.6 MP2), which has been downloaded. Figure as opposed to trying to sort out of the above mess, maybe it would be just easier to install the lastest version.
So here is where I need the communities thoughts. I would prefer to uninstall the old version and install the new version, however, should I do this, will this cause any challenges for the clients? Will they automatically update to the new version? Or does the software need to be reinstalled on the clients? Or will something out of the order and random occur?
I am open to other ideas as well, however, my primary goal is to make sure I find a way to update the SEPM on the server.
Thanks to all.
