Note:

This version of Apex One supports the following migrations:

  • On-premises Apex One servers: From OfficeScan version XG Service Pack 1

  • Apex One as a Service servers: From OfficeScan version XG Service Pack 1

For a complete list of the settings that the Apex One Settings Export Tool migrates, see The Apex One Settings Export Tool.

Older OfficeScan versions may not contain all the settings available in the latest Apex One version. Apex One automatically applies the default settings for any feature not migrated from the previous OfficeScan server version.

  1. Locate the Server Migration Tool package.

    • From the Apex One web console, go to Administration > Settings > Server Migration and click the Download Apex One Settings Export Tool link.

    • On the Apex One server computer, navigate to <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\PolicyExportTool.

  2. Copy the Apex One Settings Export Tool to the source OfficeScan server computer.
    Important:

    You must use the Apex One Settings Export Tool on the source OfficeScan server version to ensure that all data is properly formatted for the new target server. Apex One is not compatible with older versions of the Server Migration Tool.

  3. Open a command prompt with administrative privileges, change to the location of the tool, and execute ApexOneSettingsExportTool.exe.

    The Apex One Settings Export Tool runs.

    Note:

    The default names of the export packages are:

    • ApexOne_Agent_DLP_Policies.zip (used to import DLP policy settings into Apex Central)

    • ApexOne_Agent_Policies.zip (used to import all other Security Agent policy settings into Apex Central)

    • Server_Settings_Migration.zip (used to import all Security Agent policy settings and OfficeScan server settings to another Apex One server)
