Upgrading the Windows Active Directory in graphical user interface mode

Use the adapter update option, if you want to keep the adapter configuration (registry keys and certificates) unchanged.

About this task

If the update installation option is selected, the installer detects the path of the existing installed adapter. If no prior installation of the adapter is found on the system, the installer displays an error message. The installer replaces the binary files and the DLLs of the adapter and the ADK. The installer does not prompt for any configuration information during an update installation.
Note: Adapter-related registry keys are not modified. The update installation does not create a service for the adapter.
To maintain your current configuration settings, and the certificate and private key during an update, do not uninstall the old version of the adapter. For more information about installing the adapter, see Installing the adapter binaries and libraries.
