I've been watching the forums and two questions seem to be cropping up repeatedly. One is on using the SP1 feature that allows managing workgroup servers. I must have intuited this question since yesterday's post was on this very topic. The second question has to do with applying SP1 to a system. You will need to update your agents on all systems and you will need to upgrade your remote consoles.

To upgrade a remote Essentials 2007 console execute this procedure on the computer that the console installed. You do not need to upgrade the Essentials 2007 console that is installed with the Essentials 2007 management server.

If an agent is installed on the remote console computer, you must uninstall it before beginning this procedure. You can re-install the agent after the console is upgraded.

To upgrade a remote Essentials 2007 console:

  • Log on to the computer hosting the Essentials 2007 console with an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on the computer.
  • Insert the Essentials 2007 Service Pack 1 installation media.
  • Double-click the upgrade program, either Sp1x86Upgrade.exe for the x86 platform and SCE Sp1x64Upgrade.exe for the x64 platform.
  • Complete the wizard and wait for upgrade to complete successfully.
  • After upgrade completes, start the Essentials 2007 console and ensure that it connects successfully.
  • If an agent was removed from this computer as part of upgrade, approve the agent pending action for this computer to restore the agent.
