Solution Upgrade Considerations

Consider the following items for upgrades:

Access Information Center

  • Upgrade it at the same time as Enterprise Auditor.

    note

    Complete the Enterprise Auditor upgrade first.

See the Upgrade Procedure for Enterprise Auditor topic in the Netwrix Access Information Center Documentation for instructions.

Sensitive Data Discovery Add-on

  • Update it on all servers where you installed it. See the Upgrade Sensitive Data Discovery Add-on topic for instructions.

    warning

    The new global Settings will overwrite any previously configured criteria. Make a note of any configured Sensitive Data Criteria before upgrading Enterprise Auditor. You must reconfigure Sensitive Data Criteria after an upgrade.

With the new global experience, you configure sensitive data criteria selection globally, and Enterprise Auditor uses it by default in all solution sets. See the Configure Global Sensitive Data Settings for additional information.

Active Directory Solution Considerations

File System Solution Considerations

SharePoint Solution Considerations

  • For SharePoint Agent – Update the Enterprise Auditor SharePoint Agent on the SharePoint server where you installed it. See the Upgrade SharePoint Agent section for instructions.
  • For Activity – Ensure the Stealthbits Activity Monitor is a compatible version. See the Upgrade Instructions in the Netwrix Activity Monitor Documentation for additional information.

The following binary component versions are required for Enterprise Auditor v11.6:

ComponentVersion
Access Information Center11.6
Netwrix Activity Monitor8.0
File System Proxy Service11.6
Sensitive Data Discovery Add-on11.6
Enterprise Auditor SharePoint Agent11.6

File System Solution Upgrade​

After upgrading to Enterprise Auditor 11.6, run the latest version of the File System > 0.Collection > 0-Create Schema job to migrate the File System Solution to the latest database schema.

Perform this database schema migration before running other jobs in the File System Solution after upgrading to Enterprise Auditor 11.6.

See the File System Solution topic for additional information.

Configure Global Sensitive Data Settings​

warning

The new global Settings will overwrite any previously configured criteria. Make a note of any configured Sensitive Data Criteria before upgrading Enterprise Auditor. You must reconfigure Sensitive Data Criteria after an upgrade.

If you configured Sensitive Data Criteria differently for each solution, re-configure the criteria selection at the solution level. See the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On topic and the topic for the applicable solution for additional information.

If you use the same Sensitive Data Criteria for all solutions, configure the criteria selection at the global Settings > Sensitive Data node; Enterprise Auditor then uses it by default in all solutions. See the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On topic for additional information.

To configure Sensitive Data Criteria at the global level:

Step 1 – The Sensitive Data node provides configuration options to manage sensitive data criteria and false positive exclusion filters. These settings require the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-on. See the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On topic for additional information.

Global Settings Sensitive Data node

Step 2 – If you use the same Sensitive Data Criteria for all solutions, configure the criteria selection at the global Settings level; Enterprise Auditor then uses it by default in all solution sets. Navigate to the Settings > Sensitive Data node and click Add to open the Select Criteria window.

Sensitive Data Select Criteria window

Step 3 – Select the criteria you want. Use the Search Criteria text field to filter the list using keywords or expand each category to view and select individual Sensitive Data search criteria, then click OK.

By default, Enterprise Auditor applies Sensitive Data Criteria configured at the global Settings level to the applicable solutions.
