Upgrade ADMonitor

You can update the instrumentation DLL, SI.ActiveDirectoryMonitor.dll (commonly known as ADMonitor DLL), in LSASS without having to upgrade the entire Agent. To facilitate this, the Agents Interface displays the installed versions of the Agent and the ADMonitor DLL.

note

The Agent and the ADMonitor DLL should have the same major/minor version, such as 8.0.x.x, where x.x for the DLL can be equal or higher than that of the Agent. Example: Agent 8.0.0.123 and DLL 8.0.0.777

In previous Threat Prevention versions, you had to uninstall the Agent and then reinstall it to update the ADMonitor DLL. With Threat Prevention 7.5, the Upgrade ADMonitor feature lets you replace the DLL without uninstalling and reinstalling the Agent.

To update ADMonitor:

Step 1 – Click Agents in the left pane to launch the Agents interface.

Step 2 – Right-click a server/Agent and select Upgrade ADMonitor on the menu.

Step 3 – On the Access Verification window, the system runs a check to verify if the Agent is accessible. If yes, the system displays Success in the Status column. Click Next to proceed.

Step 4 – The Upgrade AD Monitor window displays the ADMonitor upgrade progress. Progress statuses are:

  • Starting – Indicates that the ADMonitor update operation is about to start.
  • Started – The ADMonitor update operation starts successfully and runs in progress. You can close the window as the process completes on its own.
  • Failed – Read the failure messages and close the window. Fix any error messages before the next attempt.

Step 5 – When the upgrade completes, click Close.

ADMonitor is now updated.
