Review the following sections prior to installing FortiClient version 7.4.7: Introduction, Special notices, and Product integration and support. |
Upgrading from previous FortiClient versions
Upgrading from FortiClient (Windows) 7.4.0 or 7.4.1 to 7.4.7 using .msi files with a Windows Active Directory (AD) deployment mechanism may cause FortiClient (Windows) services to fail to start after upgrade. Fortinet recommends using one of the following methods to solve this issue after upgrading to FortiClient (Windows) 7.4.7:
- Reboot the device.
- Use a script that Windows AD deployed that starts the FortiClient Windows scheduler. You must run the script as an administrator:
C:\Windows\system32>sc start fa_scheduler
Instead of using AD, you can use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager deployment to upgrade FortiClient (Windows) from 7.4.0 or 7.4.1 to 7.4.7 by using the following command:
msiexec /I "FortiClient.msi" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /forcerestart /q
If you upgrade FortiClient (Windows) using .exe files, the aforementioned methods are irrelevant.
Upgrading FortiClient (Windows) endpoints using EMS is recommended.
To upgrade a previous FortiClient version to FortiClient 7.4.7, do one of the following:
- Deploy FortiClient 7.4.7 as an upgrade from EMS. See Recommended upgrade path.
- Manually uninstall existing FortiClient version from the device, then install FortiClient (Windows) 7.4.7.
FortiClient (Windows) 7.4.7 features are only enabled when connected to EMS 7.2 or later.
See the FortiClient and FortiClient EMS Upgrade Paths for information on upgrade paths.
Downgrading to previous versions
FortiClient (Windows) 7.4.7 does not support downgrading to previous FortiClient (Windows) versions.
