Cisco ACS and Domain Controller

[johnmapa22]

Hi

We are currently running Cisco ACS solution engine 3.2.3.11 and using a Windows Domain Controller as a remote agent.

We now need to upgrade the ACS to 4.1

1. Do I need to upgrade the remote agent on the Domain Controller as well?

2. Can any PC/laptop on the network be used as a Distribution server?

3. After an initial backup and then upgrading to 3.3.3.3 do I need to do another backup before upgrading to 4.1?

John,

Your upgrade path would be 3.2.3--->3.3.3--->4.1.1

You need to upgrade both remote agent and appliance else it wont communicate.

It is always better to have a most recent backup handy , just incase something goes wrong.

I have attached the upgrade steps.

You can use any PC in the network as Distribution server.
