This describes how to upgrade the version based on the version upgrade by using self version management function as Systemwalker Desktop Keeper function.
Note
Notes before using Self Version Management Function
The correspondent PC should be logged onto when operating the self version management function. If not, it cannot operate.
In the case of operating version upgrade through self version management, after enabling the Windows firewall function, the window for confirming version upgrade cannot be displayed in the Client. After disabling the Windows firewall function on the Client terminal temporarily and rebooting OS, the window for confirming version upgrade will be displayed. Enable the Windows firewall function after completing version upgrade.
Through the self version management function, the initial value of the number of terminals that can be applied simultaneously is 5. When modify this number of terminals, modify it in Simultaneous Downloading Number (Maximum) in the "Folder/CT Version auto-upgrade Settings" window of server settings tool. The terminal that exceeded this configuration value will execute the self version management function again when starting up next time.
When using the self version management function in the environment of Windows Vista(R), Windows(R) 7, Windows(R) 8 and Windows(R) 10, do not use the remote logon through Windows terminal service such as Windows "Remote Desktop Connection".
Assume that you are using Windows(R) 8 and Windows(R) 10 the fast startup feature is enabled, and you shut down before you have logged on. In this case, the transfer target information file and CT operation parameter information file update operations, the CT Policy request operation, and the self version upgrade check that are normally performed when a PC starts may not work. To ensure that these operations are performed properly, restart the operating system without shutting down.
To receive self version management requests from a client (CT) of V14.3.1 or earlier, switch the communication security settings. You can use the security enhancement command to switch the communication security settings. Refer to "DTKSETCN.exe (Security Enhancement)" in the Reference Manual for details on how to use the security enhancement command.
When registering a client (CT) earlier than V15.1.0 to a Management Server of V15.1.0 or later, you cannot use verification during registration of client (CT) devices. Cancel the client management password. Refer to "Perform Terminal Operation Settings" in the User's Guide for Administrator for details.
Communications between the Management Server or the Master Management Server and a client (CT) are encrypted.
Therefore, there are restrictions on unencrypted communications, such as communication with a client (CT) of V14.3.1 or earlier to which the communication encryption update has not been applied.
Clients of V13.3.0 - V14.3.1 must be upgraded to V15.1, or the urgent updates released in September 2014 or later must be applied to the clients.
Clients of V13.2.1 or earlier cannot be used. They must be upgraded to V15.1.0.
After the Management Server is upgraded to V15.1.0, only a client of V15.0.0 or V15.1.0 can be installed.
A client (CT) of V14.3.1 or earlier to which the communication encryption update has not been applied, cannot be upgraded because communication with the new Management Server for registering management information is restricted. For this reason, the urgent updates released in September 2014 or later must be applied to clients (CT) beforehand.
Note
In the case of installing the Client (CT) on a (Master) Management Server, when setting version upgrade based on the self version management function of the Client (CT), whether to perform self-version upgrade through common self version management function will be requested. Because the server is required to restart after self-version upgrade, consider the application status of other Clients(CTs) such as connection status and determine whether to apply.
Even when Display self version upgrade confirming window and Display the reboot confirming window are not selected in the client operation settings, the dialog box about copying modules from the server will be displayed on the client side.
Note
Behavior when confirmation windows and completion windows are hidden
Even when Display self version upgrade confirming window and Display the reboot confirming window are not selected in the client operation settings, the dialog box about copying modules from the server will be displayed on the client side.
Point
By specifying the IP address or computer name, self-version upgrade can be performed to the specified Client (CT).
Not all Clients (CTs) should perform self-version upgrade collectively; only the specified Client (CT) should perform the upgrade.
For example, use in the following cases:
When trying to test the specific section before performing version upgrade completely
When trying to perform according to the section and working place
When trying to perform according to certain number of sets (CTs) in order to disperse the load
This function can be performed by creating "CT file (SWCTVerUpIP.txt) that can perform self-version upgrade".
The setting method is as follows: perform this procedure before performing the after-mentioned procedures for version upgrade.
Copy (or rename) "SWCTVerUpIP_sample.txt" as "SWCTVerUpIP.txt". Save "SWCTVerUpIP_sample.txt" to the following folder.
In the case of any server other than Windows Server(R) 2008, Windows Server(R) 2012 and Windows Server(R) 2016:
[OS Installation Drive] \Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Fujitsu\Systemwalker Desktop Keeper
In the case of Windows Server(R) 2008, Windows Server(R) 2012 and Windows Server(R) 2016:
[OS Installation Drive] \ProgramData\Fujitsu\Systemwalker Desktop Keeper
Open "SWCTVerUpIP.txt" through text editors such as Notepad.
Record the IP address or computer name of CT that can be performed self-version upgrade.
Save "SWCTVerUpIP.txt". (Do not move from the folder above.)
For file details and how to specify the IP address or computer name, refer to "Settings File of Self Version Upgradable of CT " in Reference Manual.
The procedures for version upgrade based on the self version management function are as follows. The file saving target indicated in the following procedures is different from the installation target when modifying the OS.
Set Server
Perform the following settings on the subordinate Management Server/Master Management Server to the Client (CT).
In the Management Server/Master Management Server, select Control Panel > Network Connection.
Select "Local Area Connection" and disable the local area connection. Wait for 1 minute after disabling before performing the following procedures.
The Windows service window is displayed on the Management Server/Master Management Server. Select each of the following services and select "Stop" from the "Operation" menu". It will take 30 seconds to 1 minute to stop. In addition, immediately after you restart SWServerService or after the date has changed (00:00), available space in the database will be checked. This check operation takes about 15 minutes, and services may not stop during this time. Wait a while and then check if the services have stopped.
SWLevelControlService
SWServerService
After the above services are stopped, enable "Local Connection".
On the Management Server/Master Management Server, save the file "SWCTVerSettings2.ini" under Setup folder "win32\DTKUpdate" to the following folder:
In Windows Server(R) 2008: "C:\Windows\System32"
In Windows Server(R) 2003: "C:\Windows\system32"

For the file "SWCTVerSettings2.ini", open the file properties, cancel the selection of "Read Only" check box, click the OK button.
On the Management Server/Master Management Server, save the following folder to the location recorded in DistModuleDir of file "SWCTVerSettings.ini".
