Restoring the Previous OfficeScan Server Version

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

Important:

Ensure that you roll back Security Agents before restoring the OfficeScan server.

  1. Uninstall the Apex One server.
  2. Remove the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\InstallShield Uninstall Information\OfficeScan Management Console-<server host name or IP address>

  3. Install the previous OfficeScan server version.
    Tip:

    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 Apex One server installation. The folder name (referred to as <Restore_folder_version>) is one of the following:

    • OSCEXG_SP1: OfficeScan XG Service Pack 1

    • OSCEXG: OfficeScan XG

    • OSCE11_SP1: OfficeScan 11.0 Service Pack 1
