Hi,
I am trying to set up Smart Upgrade on an 8.5.1 server with 8.5 clients.
I have create a database with an upgrade document in it to upgrade the clients from 8.5 to 8.5.1.
I also created a policy and desktop settings document, and assigned this to some test users. These users are member of a Windows domain and have limited privileges. Therefore, I made an install package with the “SUSetRunAsWizard.exe” so it would install with the domain admin account.
Finally, I added the link to the database on the server configuration document.
First problem: when I restart the client of a test user, it does not prompt me to update the client (I also did a “drop all” on the server console). I have to force the update via Tools → Notes Smart Upgrade.
Second problem: after the client downloads the package and asks me if I want to install the update, it asks me for admin credentials. Why does it do that?
I’m pretty sure the SURunas package I created is working, because when I run it manualy on a PC, it installs without asking me credentials.
I found out that the Smart Upgrade process executes _sminstall.exe prior to running the install package. But I can’t find any info on this exe or where it comes from?
The UAC dialog asks to enter credentials to execute this specific file (_sminstall.exe -f).
PS: The clients were installed with UAC turned on.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get this to work?
Kind regards,
Kevin Geysen
