Install Windows-agent using Active Directory

Agent update with the AD group policy

Similar to agent installation, add the agent installer you want to update to, in this window:

../_images/active_install_13.png

Open the properties of the version of the agent and go to the “Updates” tab, click “Add” to choose the application meant for update by the agent.

Choose the older version of the agent on the open window (if the new version is located in the same GPO - choose it from this GPO, if it’s located in some other GPO - specify it using “Browse” dialog). Below you can choose if you want to remove the previous version or install the new version over it. We recommend to remove the previous version in order not to inherit the troubles from old versions to new ones.

After that, in the GPO you will see the old packages with the lock icon and new ones with the green arrow icon.
