Upgrade

The upgrade Fixlets are available for each of the four DEX components, which internally refers to the same directory path where the installation was previously performed.

BigFix DEX requires BigFix Platform version 11.0.7 or higher. Ensure that BigFix Platform and the BigFix Scanner are updated to their minimum required baseline before upgrading DEX components. Upgrading Scanner or Explorer using Fixlets is no longer required.

Available upgrade fixlets:

Note: The DEX Server upgrade fixlet requires admin credentials (CH and MSSQL) to proceed, as the admin credentials are not stored. Other components are upgraded based on the existing configuration. It is mandatory to upgrade the DEX Server first. For Scanner DEX Plugin, the minimum version of Scanner should be >= "11.0.41.1".
