netwrix directory manager UPGRADE

Affected: >= 11.0.0.0 and < 11.1.25162.02

Fixed in: 11.1.25162.02

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 11.0.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy directory-manager || rpm -q directory-manager || directory-manager --version

2. UPGRADE to 11.1.25162.02 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade directory-manager

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade directory-manager

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 11.0.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison directory-manager sudo apt install directory-manager=<VERSION_BEFORE_11.0.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold directory-manager

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list directory-manager sudo dnf downgrade directory-manager-<VERSION_BEFORE_11.0.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add directory-manager

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
