Upgrade to the latest version

New ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint versions are issued to provide improvements or fix issues that program module automatic updates cannot resolve.

Upgrade methods include:

Uninstall/Install

This method removes the current ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint version before installing the new one. Download the latest version of ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint. Export settings from your existing ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint if you want to preserve your configuration. Uninstall ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint and restart the server. Perform a fresh installation with the installer you downloaded. Import settings to load your configuration. We recommend this procedure if you have a single server running ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint.

In-place

This is an upgraded method where you install the new ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint version over the existing version.


important

You must not have pending Windows Updates on your server and or pending restarts. If you try performing an in-place upgrade with pending Windows Updates or restarts, the existing ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint version may not uninstall correctly. You will also experience problems if you manually remove the old ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint version afterward.


note

A server restart is required during the ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint upgrade.

Remote

This method is used in large network environments managed by ESET PROTECT, and is a clean upgrade method carried out remotely. It is useful if you have multiple servers running ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint.

ESET Cluster wizard

You can also use the ESET Cluster wizard to upgrade in-place. We recommend this method for two or more servers with ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint. When the upgrade is complete, you can continue using ESET Cluster and its features.


note

When you upgrade your ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint, we recommend you go through all the settings to ensure it is configured correctly according to your needs.
