Restoring the Previous OfficeScan Server Version

The restoration procedure for the OfficeScan server requires that administrators uninstall the OfficeScan XG server, reinstall the older server version, manually stop Windows services, update the system registry, and replace OfficeScan server files in the OfficeScan installation directory.

Important:

Ensure that you roll back OfficeScan agents before restoring the OfficeScan server.

  1. Uninstall the OfficeScan XG server.

    Trend Micro recommends not changing the host name or IP address when restoring the server.

    To verify the previous version of the server, go to the <Server installation folder> and view the restoration folder created during the OfficeScan XG server installation. The folder name (referred to as <Restore_folder_version>) is one of the following:

    • OSCE11_SP1: OfficeScan 11.0 Service Pack 1
