Upgrading to MBAM 2.5 or MBAM 2.5 SP1 from Previous Versions

If you're planning to upgrade your Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) Server and Client from earlier versions of MBAM, this topic will guide you through the process. Upgrading to MBAM 2.5 or MBAM 2.5 SP1 is a straightforward process that requires careful planning and execution.

Before we dive into the upgrade process, it's essential to note that the MBAM Server Configuration wizard does not support configuring websites on one server and web services on a different server when upgrading from MBAM 2.0 or 2.0 SP1 in Windows Server 2008 R2. If you're planning to install the MBAM websites on one server and the web services on another, you'll need to use Windows PowerShell cmdlets to configure them.

Fortunately, you can upgrade directly to MBAM 2.5 or MBAM 2.5 SP1 from any previous version of MBAM. This means that you don't have to worry about intermediate upgrades or compatibility issues.

In this topic, we'll walk you through the process of upgrading your MBAM Server and Client to MBAM 2.5 or MBAM 2.5 SP1. We'll cover the steps required to ensure a smooth upgrade and minimize downtime.

By following these instructions, you'll be able to take advantage of the new features and improvements in MBAM 2.5 and 2.5 SP1, including enhanced security and management capabilities.

In the next section, we'll provide detailed instructions on how to prepare for the upgrade process. Stay tuned!
