Before applying OfficeScan XG SP1, please check the following upgrade considerations:

  • OfficeScan XG SP1 automatically upgrades the scan engine on the OfficeScan server and all OfficeScan agents immediately after installation (regardless of OfficeScan agent update settings).
  • Trend Micro recommends performing the upgrade during off-peak hours to minimize network disruptions.
  • Rebooting the OfficeScan server machine may be necessary if you are installing on Windows Server 2012 and the following components are updated:
    • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 Full
    • Microsoft SQL server 2012  Native Client
  • After upgrading OfficeScan agents to OfficeScan XG SP1, you must restart the agent endpoints to ensure that the OfficeScan agent program properly adopts the HTTPS module and continues to properly communicate with the OfficeScan server.
  • This service pack can only be used to upgrade OfficeScan XG. If you are using OfficeScan 11.0, please upgrade to OfficeScan XG first.
  • Below are the estimated sizes (in terms of bandwidth) for upgrading each OfficeScan agent:
    • For each OfficeScan agent running on a 32-bit endpoint = 104 MB
    • For each OfficeScan agent running on a 64-bit endpoint = 142 MB
  • Before moving OfficeScan agents from an existing OfficeScan XG server, you must install OfficeScan XG Critical Patch 1737 on the source OfficeScan server to ensure that the OfficeScan agents can properly report to the target OfficeScan XG SP1 server.
     
    If you are upgrading the OfficeScan XG server to OfficeScan XG SP1 directly, you do not need to apply the critical patch.
