Question

DC agent update = need to uninstall first

That is total madness. I can not reboot domain controller TWICE (once after uninstall & second time after install)

 

How is it that Fortinet cannot write upgrade routine that (if at all) needs just a single upgrade?

    Did upgrade DCAgent in lab now and system rebooted ONCE .. and only because this agent is hooked to LSAS as sub-authentication module. And from last check it seemed to me that it is MSFT who is unable to load/unload modules without reboot.

    But c'mon .. MSFT world was always like this, change whatever > reboot .. wasn't it ?

    I can live with single reboot, but uninstall is unacceptable!

     

    I did not make up the the Installer message seen in picture

    Why are you trying to remove it when title states DCAgent Update. One possible way is to ask Fortinet Support for standalone installer of DCAgent. And if you fire up installation of this newer DCAgent on the DC, then it will update existing agent with a single reboot only.
