Upgrade the Policy Broker machine first, then any machines running Policy Server. Distributed components on other machines must be upgraded after Policy Broker and Policy Server.

Before beginning: If you performed an intermediate upgrade to v7.5 or v7.6, and you have not restarted the upgraded machines, perform a restart before beginning the v7.7 upgrade. Perform a full system backup. See Backing up Web Security configuration. Important Filtering and logging services are not available while you are performing the upgrade. To reduce the impact on network users, run the upgrade after hours, or during a quiet time on the network. Perform the following procedure on each machine running Websense Web Security components. 1.Make sure that no administrators are logged on to TRITON - Web Security. Log on to the installation machine with an account having domain and local administrator 2.privileges. Important If you are upgrading Log Server on this machine and it uses a Windows trusted connection to access the Log Database, you must log on to this machine using the same trusted account. 3.Stop Log Server and disable SQL Server Agent jobs.

See Preparing the Web Security Log Database for upgrade. 4.Close all applications and stop any antivirus software. Warning Be sure to close the Windows Event Viewer, or the upgrade may fail. Configure current Web Security network administrators to be authenticated against a version 7.7-supported directory service if necessary.

Click Cancel, and then Quit. You are returned to the Modify Installation Dashboard. Install SQL Server Express either on this machine or another machine. It is possible to install SQL Server Express on the same machine currently running MSDE. See Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (without TRITON Infrastructure) for instructions. Once SQL Server Express has been installed (and, optionally, MSDE data restored or attached to it), run the Websense installer again on this machine (the one running Log Server) to upgrade components. When you click Next, a Stopping All Services progress message appears. Wait for 12.Websense services to be stopped. The Pre-Upgrade Summary screen appears when the services have been stopped. In some cases, the installer may be unable to stop the Websense services. If the services have not been stopped after approximately 10 minutes, then stop them manually.
