Additional Information


About Product

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite is designed for organization and management of integrated and secure complex anti-virus protection as local company network including mobile devices, or home computers of employers.

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite has a client-server architecture. Client components of anti-virus network are installed on the protected workstations of users and administrators (network servers). Dr.Web Server provides for centralized administrating of the anti-virus and anti-spam protection of the company's network, including deployment, virus databases and program files updates on protected computers, monitoring of virus events and the state of the anti-virus packages and OS’s on all protected computers.

An aggregate of computers on which Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite cooperating components are installed is called an anti-virus network. To deploy the anti-virus network, the advantages of Active Directory technology employed in servers under Windows OS's can be used. To exchange information between Dr.Web Server and Dr.Web Agents network protocols TCP/IP are used.

Known Issues

At upgrading Dr.Web Server under Windows OS from version 10 and earlier, the settings from the following sections of the Control Center will not be transferred into the version 12:

Dr.Web Server configuration Network Download (the download.conf file),

Dr.Web Server remote access (the frontdoor.conf file),

Web server configuration (the webmin.conf file).

At upgrading Dr.Web Server under UNIX system-based OS from version 10 and earlier, the settings from the Web server configuration (the webmin.conf file) section of the Control Center will not be transferred into the version 12.

Settings in these sections will be reset to defaults. If you want to use the settings of the previous version, specify them manually after the Server upgrade in the corresponding sections of the Control Center basing on the data from the configuration files backup.

Through the inter-server connection between the Servers of version 10 and 12 the unsupported repository products can be transferred during the upgrade: old products that are not included into the new Server repository, or new products that are not included into the old Server repository. At this, you can get the upgrade error due to the unknown repository product. In the Repository content section, for such products the name of location directory is given instead of the product name.

This situation may occur, particularly, at the step-by-step upgrade of the Servers in a multi-server anti-virus network.

At the Server upgrade, custom hooks created manually are not saved.

Automatic upgrade of the Server under UNIX system-based OS from the version 6.0.4 to the version 12.0 cannot be done. Upgrade can be made only manually. For this, you must delete the Server software of 6.0.4 version saving the backup copy and install the software of the version 12.0 based on the saved backup copy.

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite of version 12.0 supports only Dr.Web Agents for Android of version 12.2 and later.

Upgrade to Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 12.0

Important Note

Before updating, it is recommended to check the validity of TCP/IP protocol configuration for the Internet access. Particularly, DNS service must be enabled and properly configured.

In multiserver anti-virus network configuration, consider that interserver updates transmission is not performed between Servers of 12 version and Servers of previous versions and interserver connection is used for transmission statistics only. To provide interserver updates transmission, you must upgrade all Servers. If you need to remain Servers of previous version as a part of the anti-virus network to connect the Agents installed on operating systems which are not supported by the 12 version, when Servers of versions 6 and Servers of the 12 version must receive updates independently.

For the anti-virus network containing Dr.Web Proxy Server, at upgrade of the components up to the version 12.0, you must also upgrade the Proxy Server up to the version 12.0. Otherwise, the Agents supplied within version 12.0 will not be able to connect to the Server of version 12.0. It is recommended to perform the upgrade in the following order: Dr.Web Server → Dr.Web Proxy Server → Dr.Web Agent.

During upgrade of the Server from the 6 version to the 12 version, settings of the Sever operation via the proxy server are not saved. After the installation of the 12 version, you must specify the settings of connection via the proxy server manually (see Administration Manual, p. Proxy).

At upgrading the Server, all repository settings will not be transferred to the new version (will be reset to defaults), however they are backed up. If necessary, specify the repository settings manually after the Server upgrade.

After installing the Server version 12, updates of the Dr.Web Agent for Android, Dr.Web Agent for UNIX and Dr.Web Proxy Server repository products are loaded from GUS by default only upon the request of these products from stations. For more details, see Administrator Manual, p. Detailed Repository Configuration.

If your Server is not connected to the Internet, and updates are loaded manually from other Server or using the Repository Loader, before installing or updating products with the Update on demand only option, you must first manually load these products to the repository.

When upgrading Server from version 11 to version 12 via GUS, make sure that Server repository configuration has required operating system and web console languages specified, since these settings could have been reset during one of previous Server upgrades.

Upgrading the Dr.Web Server for Windows® OS

Upgrading of the Server from the 6, 10, and 11 versions to the 12 version and within version 12 is performed automatically by the means of the installer.

Upgrading the Server from versions 11.X to version 12.0 is also available via the Control Center. The procedure is described in the Administrator Manual, in the Updating Dr.Web Server and Restoring from the Backup section.

At upgrading Dr.Web Server under Windows OS from version 10 and earlier, the settings from the following sections of the Control Center will not be transferred into the version 12:

Dr.Web Server configuration → Network → Download (the download.conf file),

Dr.Web Server remote access (the frontdoor.conf file),

Web server configuration (the webmin.conf file).

Settings in these sections will be reset to defaults. If you want to use the settings of the previous version, specify them manually after the Server upgrade in the corresponding sections of the Control Center basing on the data from the configuration files backup.

Saving Configuration Files

At upgrading the Server to the 12 version by the installer means, the configuration files are saved into the folder specified for the back up:

For the upgrade from the version 6: to the <installation_drive>:\DrWeb Backup.

For the upgrade from the versions 10 and within version 12: to the folder that is specified in the Back up Dr.Web Server critical data option during the upgrade (<installation_drive>:\DrWeb Backup by default).

2.The embedded database is upgraded and configuration files of the Server is converted by the means of the installer. You cannot replace these files with a backup copies when upgrading from the Server of version 6.

If necessary, copy other critical files you want to preserve to another folder, other than Server installation folder. For instance, report templates which are stored in the \var\templates folder.

Saving Database

Please note! Starting from Dr.Web Server version 10 the MS SQL CE database is no longer supported. During automatic Server upgrade by the means of the installer, the MS SQL CE database is automatically converted to the SQLite internal database.

Before upgrading, make sure that Microsoft SQL DBMS has case-sensitive (_CS) and accent-sensitive (_AS) collation suffixes specified. Otherwise, automatic update will be impossible.

Before upgrading, make sure that the DBMS you use is supported by Dr.Web Server version 12. Otherwise, automatic update will be impossible. A list of supported DBMS's is available in Appendices, chapter Appendix B. The Description of the DBMS Settings. The Parameters of the DBMS Driver.

Before upgrading Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite software, make sure to backup the database.

For Servers with external DB, it is recommended that standard tools supplied with the database be used.

Make sure that Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite DB export completed successfully. If DB backup copy is not  available, the Server could not be restored in emergency case.

To upgrade Dr.Web Server

To upgrade Dr.Web Server, run the distribution file.

By default, installer uses the language of the operating system. If necessary, you can change the installation language on any step by selecting the corresponding option in the right upper part of the installer window.

For the external Server database, also select Use existing database during upgrade.

If you are going to use the Oracle DB as an external database via the ODBC connection, then during installation (upgrading) of the Server, in the installer settings, disable the installation of embedded client for Oracle DBMS (in the Database support → Oracle database driver section).

Otherwise, interaction with the Oracle DB via ODBC will fail because of the libraries conflict.

Upgrade from the version 6.0.4 to the version 12.0 can be made only manually.

Upgrade from the versions 10.X to the version 12.0 automatically over the installed version is possible not for all UNIX system-based OS. Thus, under UNIX system-based OS, on which automatic upgrading over the installed package is not supported, you must perform the upgrade manually.

Upgrading the Server software from versions 11.X and within version 12.0 for the same package types is performed automatically for all UNIX system-based OS. If needed, you can also perform the upgrade manually.

Upgrading the Server from versions 11.X to version 12.0 is also available via the Control Center. The procedure is described in the Administrator Manual, in the Updating Dr.Web Server and Restoring from the Backup section.

At upgrading Dr.Web Server under UNIX system-based OS from version 10 and earlier, the settings from the Web server configuration (the webmin.conf file) section of the Control Center will not be transferred into the version 12.

Settings in this section will be reset to defaults. If you want to use the settings of the previous version, specify them manually after the Server upgrade in the corresponding section of the Control Center basing on the data from the configuration file backup.

Warning! All actions must be performed under the root administrator account.

At uninstalling and automatic upgrading of the Server to the version 12, configuration files are saved into default backup directory: /var/tmp/drwcs/.

After the Server of version 6 has been removed, the following files are automatically saved:

If you are planning to use configuration files from the version 6 of the Server, please note:

1.Server license key is no longer supported.

2.The embedded database is upgraded and configuration files of the Server is converted by the means of the installer. You cannot replace these files with a backup copies when upgrading from the Server of version 6.

If necessary, save other files that you are planning to use in the sequel in another location.

Saving Database

Before upgrade Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite software, it is recommender to backup database.

For Servers with external DB, it is recommended to use standard tools supplied with the database.

Make sure, that Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite DB export completed successfully. If DB backup copy is not  available, the Server could not be restored in emergency case.

Automatic Upgrade of Dr.Web Server

If you upgrade the Server from 10 version to version 12 (except the Servers installed under Linux OS from the *.rpm.run and *.deb.run packages), instead of deleting the old version and installing the new version of the Server, you can use the package upgrade. For this, launch the installation of corresponding Server package.

Upgrading the Server software within version 12 for the same package types is performed automatically for all UNIX system-based OS.

At this, configuration files will be automatically converted and placed in corresponding directories. Also, some configuration files are additionally stored in the backup directory.

Manual Upgrade of Dr.Web Server

If the Server upgrade from the version 6.0.4 and later cannot be done over the installed package, you must delete the Server software of previous versions saving the backup copy and install the software of the version 12 based on the saved backup copy.

To upgrade Dr.Web Server, perform the following procedure:

1.Stop the Server.

2.If you plan to use any files (besides the files which are copied automatically during the Server uninstall at step 3), backup these files manually, for example, the report templates and etc.

3.Remove the Server software (see Installation Manual, p. Removing Dr.Web Server Software for UNIX System-Based OS). You will be prompt to create a backup copies of the files. For this, specify the path to store the backup or accept the default path.

4.Install Dr.Web Server version 12.0 according to the general installation procedure (see Installation Manual, p. Installing Dr.Web Server for UNIX System-Based OS) based on the backup copy from the step 3. All saved configuration files and embedded database (if you use embedded database) will be automatically converted to be used by the Server of the 12.0 version. Without automatic conversion, database (if you use embedded database) and some of the Server configuration files from the previous version cannot be used.

In case of manual backup, place the files to the same directories where they were located in the previous version.

For all backup files from the previous Server version (see step 4) you must set the user selected at the installation of the new Server version (drwcs by default), as files owner.

5.Launch the Server.

6.Set up repository upgrade and perform the upgrade.

After upgrade of anti-virus network Servers is completed, you must configure encryption and compression settings for the connected Servers (see the Administrator Manual, the Setting Connections between Several Dr.Web Servers section).

Upgrading Dr.Web Agents on Stations under Windows OS

Upgrade of the Agents Supplied with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 11 and 10

Upgrade of the Agents supplied with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 11 and 10 is performed automatically.

After the automatic upgrade, the popup notification with restart request is displayed on a station; in the Control Center, restart request after the upgrade is displayed in the station status. Restart a station locally or remotely via the Control Center to complete the upgrade.

If the station was connected to the Server via the Dr.Web Proxy server of version 11 and earlier, you must upgrade the Proxy server up to the version 12 before upgrading the Agent. Otherwise, the Agents supplied within version 12.0 will not be able to connect to the Server of version 12.0.

Automatic Upgrade of the Agents Supplied with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 6

To perform automatic upgrade, the following conditions must be met:

1.Agents must be installed on a computers under Windows OS which are supported for the installation of Agents for Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite version 12.0 (see the Appendices document, Appendix A. The Complete List of Supported OS Versions).

2.For the automatic upgrade, the following actions are possible depending on the Server settings:

a)Automatic upgrade is performed, if during the Server upgrade, encryption keys and network settings from the previous Server were saved, is performed by the following procedure:

1.The old version of the Agent is uninstalled when upgrade is started.

2.The station is rebooted manually.

3.The new version of the Agent is installed. For this, the task in the Server schedule is automatically created.

4.After the Agent upgrade is completed, the station automatically connects to the Server. In the Status section of the Control Center, the notification on required restart will be displayed for the upgraded station. The station must be restarted.

b)The manual configuration required during the automatic upgrade, if during the Server upgrade, new encryption keys and Server network settings were specified, is performed by the following procedure:

1.Configure settings for connection to the new Server and replace public encryption key on station manually.

2.After changing of the settings on the station and connecting the stations to the Server, the Agent upgrade process starts.

3.The old version of the Agent is uninstalled when upgrade is started.

4.The station is rebooted manually.

5.The new version of the Agent is installed. For this, the task in the Server schedule is automatically created.

6.After the Agent upgrade is completed, the station automatically connects to the Server. In the Status section of the Control Center, the notification on required restart will be displayed for the upgraded station. The station must be restarted.

Please note the following features during automatic upgrade:

1.After removing the Agent, notification on reboot required is not displayed on a station. Administrator must initiate the station reboot.

2.Between the removal of an old Agent version and installing of a new version, stations will have no anti-virus protection.

3.After upgrading of the Agent, the anti-virus software operation will be limited without the station restart. At this, the complete anti-virus protection of the station is not provided. User must restart the station on the Agent demand.

Manual Upgrade of the Agents Supplied with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 6

If installation of the new version of the Agent during automatic upgrade failed for any reason, the next installation attempts are not performed. No anti-virus software will be installed on the station, and such station will be displayed as offline in the Control Center.

In such case, you must install the Agent by yourself. At this, after the new Agent installation, you must merge the new station and the old station in the Control Center, in the hierarchical tree of the anti-virus network.

Upgrade is not Supported

If Agents are installed on stations under OS which are not supported for the installation of Agents for Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite version 12.0, actions to upgrade are not performed.

Agents installed on unsupported OS cannot receive updates (including virus bases updates) from the new Server. If you need to remain Agents under unsupported OS, you must leave the Server of previous version to which these Agents are connected as a part of the anti-virus network. At this, Servers of 6 versions and Servers of the 12.0 version must receive updates independently.

Recommendations on upgrading the Agents, installed at the stations that implement significant LAN functions, specified in the Appendices document, p. Upgrading Dr.Web Agents on the LAN servers.

Upgrading Dr.Web Agents on Stations under Android OS

Please note the following features:

Dr.Web Agents for Android must be upgraded manually on mobile devices to operate with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite of version 12.0.

Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite of version 12.0 supports only Dr.Web Agents for Android of version 12.2 and later.

To upgrade Dr.Web Agents for Android locally, you can use one of the following ways:

1.If you can download separately the installation package of the Agent standalone version via the Internet.
