Check a server before you install or upgrade (Upgrade Readiness)

Run UpgradeReadiness.exe on each server before you install or upgrade Trust Protection Foundation. The tool finds problems that would make the installation or upgrade fail. It can also fix some of them. By default, it only checks the server and doesn't change anything.

Before you begin

  • Get UpgradeReadiness.exe from the release .zip file for the version you're upgrading to. It's next to the product installer.

  • You don't need to install it. Copy the file to each server.

  • Sign in with an account that has administrator rights.

  • Run the tool on every server, both web servers and engine-only servers, preferably within 7 days before you upgrade.

To check a server

  1. Open PowerShell as an administrator, and go to the folder that has UpgradeReadiness.exe.

  2. Run .\UpgradeReadiness.exe

  3. Review the results. If any check shows FAIL, fix the problem before you upgrade. The HTML report tells you how to fix each problem.

The tool saves HTML and JSON reports in the same folder as the exe.

To fix problems automatically

Run .\UpgradeReadiness.exe -fix-all

If a fix needs a restart, restart the server. Then run .\UpgradeReadiness.exe -resume to finish.

To see all options, run .\UpgradeReadiness.exe -help
