Overview
The most common reason for doing a Clean Reinstallation is to migrate the application to another server. This procedure can also be used to eliminate the currently installed application and install a new, fresh copy in its place. It is also used in the creation of a Test Installation.
Procedure
Preparation
- It is recommended that you update to the latest version prior to reinstallation. If you have a faulty installation that you are going to be replacing, the update can be done later.
- Navigate to C:\Program Files\AuditWizard v8\db\.
- Copy the file aw_db.sdf elsewhere as a backup. This is your database file. Omit this step if you are going to start with a blank database.
- If you have a Documents folder in C:\Program Files\AuditWizard v8\, copy it elsewhere as a backup.
Application Removal
- Open the Programs and Features Windows control panel.
- You may have an entry for both AuditWizard and an AuditWizard update. Uninstall any update first, then AuditWizard.
- Navigate to C:\Program Files\. If it exists, delete the AuditWizard v8 folder.
- Delete the contents of your network share (but not the share itself).
- Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\
- Delete any shortcut to AuditWizard and enclosing folder.
Reinstallation
- Download the full installer. This is a trial that can be registered. Note that it may not be the latest version. Please confirm with Support.
- Install per the steps in Installation.
- If it is not the latest version, log into the Customer Portal, download the latest version and install it.
- Navigate to C:\Program Files\AuditWizard v8\db\. Replace aw_db.sdf with your backup. Omit this step if you are going to start with a blank database.
- If you backed up the Documents folder, restore it to C:\Program Files\AuditWizard v8\.
Configuration
- Launch. Register on launch. Cancel the Setup Wizard.
- Go to Administration > Auditing > AuditScanner Configuration. Enter the network share path and make any desired changes. Click the Save Configuration and Deploy to Network buttons.
- If you are using the Agent, go to Administration > Auditing > AuditAgent Configuration. Enter the network share path and make any desired changes. Click the Save Configuration button.
- Go to Administration > General > AuditWizard Services and configure your AuditWizard Service.
Deployment
- Do a full network discovery.
- If you are using the Agent, repeat this sequence of steps until all computers running Agents have been updated with the latest Agent:
- In Network View, right-click a range of computers and select AuditWizard Agent > Check Status.
- Remove the Agent from any computers to which it has been deployed.
- Deploy the Agent again to install the latest version of the Agent service.
