Hosts Failing Scans Immediately After Upgrading Network Sentry

Scope
Version: Network Sentry 7 & 8
Solution

Version: Network Sentry 7 & 8

Issue: Hosts that were passing certain scan now fail the same scans after upgrading Network Sentry.

Upgrading the production version reverts the Auto-Definitions to those installed at the time the new code was released. This will most likely be older than the last Auto-Definitions downloaded prior to the upgrade.

Solution: After upgrade, re-run the Auto-Def Update Synchronization scheduled task to get the most recent
definitions for Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and the valid vendor codes.
