Updated: May 13, 2016
Applies To: System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager, System Center 2012 - Operations Manager, System Center 2012 SP1 - Operations Manager
You can upgrade System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 agents in a single-server management group by using the Operations console, manually by using the Setup Wizard, or manually, by using a command prompt. Determining which option to use depends on how the agents were deployed. For example, agents that were installed by using the Computer and Device Management Wizard (“push-installed agents”) can be upgraded through the Operations console. However, agents that were installed manually (“manually installed agents”) cannot be upgraded this way. You can verify how agents were installed by using the Upgrade Helper management pack. For more information, see Upgrade Helper Management Pack.
Important
For information about how upgrade works with AVIcode 5.7 agents and .NET Application Performance Monitoring Agents, see Notes for AVIcode 5.7 Customers.
You should upgrade manually installed agents before you run upgrade on the management group. Push-installed agents can be upgraded after you run upgrade on the management group. You use the System Center 2012 – Operations Manager Operations console to upgrade push-installed agents in a single-server management group.
