Adaxes Upgrade Questions

0 votes

The new version of Adaxes says it uses Powershell 7 and Powershell 5.1 scripts may need to be re-written. I have so many scripts using a combination of Adaxes Module commands, and Active Directory Module commands, how will I be able to tell what scripts need to be rewritten? Also, do I need to pre-install Powershell 7 on my servers? I have a 2 server environment with an external data base but I can't find the upgrade instructions for this type of upgrade I used to have a link can you provide that? I have several different web views for several different teams and uses. Will existing permissions change?

Hello,

how will I be able to tell what scripts need to be rewritten?

In most cases, you just need to install the version of a module for PowerShell 7 and that should be it. At the same time, there are modules/cmdlets that do not support PowerShell 7. In this case, you will need to check for alternatives.

Also, do I need to pre-install Powershell 7 on my servers?

No, there is no need for that.

I have a 2 server environment with an external data base but I can't find the upgrade instructions for this type of upgrade I used to have a link can you provide that?

Have a look at section Upgrade multi-server configuration of the installation guide: https://www.adaxes.com/help/InstallationGuide/#upgrade-multi-server-configuration.

I have several different web views for several different teams and uses. Will existing permissions change?

No, nothing should change.
