Table 2. Upgrading Unified Metasys Server with SCT on Desktop OS (In-Place)
Step	Action	Reference or Additional Steps
1.	Create a full disk image backup of the computer's hard drive to external media before upgrading any Metasys software (optional but recommended).	Refer to the documentation that came with your operating system backup software.
2.	Check if the computer has a SHA256 self-signed certificate bound to Default Web Site in IIS. If the ADS/ADX computer has a purchased certificate from a certificate authority (CA), determine if this is a SHA256 (Secure Hash Algorithm) certificate. If so, follow the steps on the right. If not, skip to the next step. Also, for more details, refer to the Network and IT Guidance Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011279) .	In Control Panel, click System and Security > Administrative Tools. Start IIS Manager. Expand the server, then expand Sites. Click Default Web Site. Click Bindings in the right pane. The Site Bindings window appears. Look for a Site Binding called Type: https, Port: 443. If this site binding is not present, skip these substeps. If this site binding is present, select it and click Edit. In the Edit Site Binding window, click View. Read the values in the Issued to: and Issued by: fields. If these values are the same, the computer has a self-signed certificate. If these values are different, the computer has a purchased certificate from a CA. On the Certificate window, click Details. Read the value for the signature hash algorithm. If the value is not at least sha256, you need to update your certificate. The upgrade will not overwrite bound site certificates with at least a 256-bit RSA. If you have a self-signed certificate, or have a purchased one from a CA that does not need to be updated, make no changes. If you need to update a purchased certificate, make no changes, and contact your public CA for how to update your signed certificate to at least SHA256. If you continue with server installation now, a self-signed certificate is installed, which you can replace with a purchased certificate after the upgrade. Close IIS Manager.
3.	Upload and back up all Metasys Server and network engine archive databases to the existing SCT. Make sure you select the Include Security option for the upload.	Refer to Database Uploading, Downloading, and Synchronization of SCT: System Configuration Tool Help (LIT-12011964) or the SCT Technical Bulletin (LIT-1201534) for the release you have currently installed (not the new release).
4.	Determine if you need to record existing user accounts and roles: If the current Metasys system is at Release 5.2 and earlier, follow the steps on the right. If the current Metasys system is at Release 6.0 or later, skip to the next step.	Log in to SCT and open the Security Administrator tool (Tools > Administrator). In Security Administrator, record all roles, local user accounts, and Active Directory user accounts that you want to recreate in the upgraded SCT. All customized roles and user accounts are lost when you uninstall SCT 5.2 (or earlier) and install a newer version of SCT. For easy recall later, you may find it helpful to use the computer's print screen function to capture the user access permissions and other information for each role. Refer to the Metasys Site Management Portal Help (LIT-1201793) for Release 5.2 or earlier.
5.	Forward all trend samples from each network engine to the ADS/ADX Site Director by using the Route Samples command at each engine. This step ensures that the Site Director has all possible samples before you begin the upgrade. Wait a few minutes to ensure that all samples have been forwarded.	Refer to Metasys Site Management Portal Help (LIT-1201793) for information about the Route Samples command.
6.	Stop the Metasys III Device Manager service on the ADS/ADX computer. This action prevents the collection of any new audits, alarms, trends, and annotations while you perform the upgrade. If you can accept the loss of data samples during an upgrade, you can skip to the next step.	Right-click the Windows task bar and start Task Manager. Click the Services tab. Locate a service called Metasys III Device Manager. Select this service and right-click and select Stop Service. The Metasys III Device Manager service stops.
7.	Perform a complete backup of all historical data in the ADS/ADX computer with the Metasys Database Manager. If the system to be upgraded is at Release 8.0 or 8.1, after the historical databases are backed up, use the SQL Server Management Studio to backup the SpacesAuthorization database. After the installation is complete, restore the SpacesAuthorization database.	Refer to Backing Up a Database in Metasys Database Manager Help (LIT-12011202) .
8.	Make a copy of each historical database backup file and archive backup file and store them on removable media (for example, a flash drive or DVD).	Use Windows Explorer to prepare and archive the file copies.
9.	Uninstall the Ready Access Portal software if currently installed.	Refer to the Uninstalling Ready Access Portal Software section in the Ready Access Portal Software Installation Instructions (LIT-12011523) .
10.	Uninstall the NxE Information and Configuration Tool (NCT) if present.	In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select the program from the list and click Uninstall.
11.	Uninstall the Metasys Export Utility software if currently installed.	In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select the program from the list and click Uninstall.
12.	Select the appropriate action: If Metasys UI Online Release 1.5.1 or earlier software is installed, uninstall Metasys UI Online. If Metasys UI Online Release 2.0 or higher is installed, skip to the next step.	In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select the program from the list and click Uninstall.
13.	Select the appropriate action: If Metasys UI Offline Release 1.5.1 or earlier software is installed, uninstall Metasys UI Offline. If Metasys UI Offline Release 2.0 is installed, or Metasys UI Offline is not installed, skip to the next step.	In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select the program from the list and click Uninstall.
14.	Select the appropriate action: If the site is at Release 7.0 or earlier, uninstall the NAE Update Tool if present. This uninstall step is required before you can install or upgrade to the new version of SCT. If the site is at Release 8.0 or later, skip to the next step.	In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select the program from the list and click Uninstall.
15.	Select the appropriate action: If the computer has Metasys Server software at Release 7.x or earlier, uninstall the existing Metasys Server software. When prompted, select to remove license keys because you are upgrading to a new major software release. If the computer has Metasys Server software at Release 8.x or later, skip to the next step.	See Uninstalling the Metasys Server Software Introduction.
16.	Select the appropriate action: If you have SCT Release 7.x or later, skip to the next step. If you have SCT Release 6.5.x or earlier, follow the steps to the right to manually record all SCT users.	Log in to SCT and open the Security Administrator tool (Tools > Administrator). In Security Administrator, record all SCT roles, local user accounts, and Active Directory user accounts that you want to recreate in the upgraded SCT. All SCT customized roles and user accounts are lost when you uninstall SCT in the next step. For easy recall later, you may find it helpful to use the computer's print screen function to capture the user access permissions and other information for each role.
17.	Select the appropriate action: If the site is at Release 7.0 or earlier, uninstall the current version of Metasys Launcher from the ADS/ADX computer and remove from all clients that log in to the ADS/ADX. If the site is at Release 8.0 or later, skip to the next step.	In Control Panel, click Programs > Programs and Features. Select Johnson Controls - Launcher from the list of programs and click Uninstall.
18.	Verify that the currently installed version of SQL Server software is supported for the new release of Metasys software. If necessary, apply the supported service pack or cumulative update.	See Verifying your computer has a supported version of SQL Server software installed.
19.	Select the appropriate action: If you have SCT Release 6.5.x or earlier, skip to the next step. If you have SCT Release 7.0 to 13.1, follow the steps to the right. If you have SCT Release 13.2 or later, upgrade to SCT 16.0 software. Then license the SCT 16.0 software with the Software Manager.
