2.      In the Security Configuration domain in the console, open the
Configuration Management navigation tree.

3.      Select the Fixlet named BigFix Compliance Server 2.0 - First-time
Install Fixlet under the BigFix Compliance Install/Upgrade menu tree node.

4.      Follow the Fixlet instructions and take the associated action to
install your BigFix Compliance deployment.

For upgrade installations: Refer to the below upgrade steps for the BigFix
Compliance version that you are using.

*IMPORTANT: Before you start any upgrade process, perform a server and
database backup.*

A. For BigFix Compliance Analytics versions 1.9.x, 1.10.x and 2.0.x:

1.      Make sure that you complete the server and database backup.

2.      It is recommended to stop the BigFix Compliance Server or at least
disable scheduled Data Imports to ensure that Data Import is not in
progress during the upgrade.

3.      In the Security Configuration domain in the console, open the
Configuration Management navigation tree.

4.      Under the BigFix Compliance Install/Upgrade menu tree item, select
the BigFix Compliance Server 2.0 - Upgrade Fixlet which automatically
installs and upgrades to the new version.

5.      Follow the Fixlet instructions and take the associated action to
upgrade your BigFix Compliance deployment.

6.      Update the data schema. To do this, log in to the BigFix Compliance
web interface from the host server and proceed with configuration.
Upgrading the data scheme is expected and it will take some time to
complete. NOTE: Automatic upgrade installation only affects installations
running under the LocalSystem account. Follow the Fixlet instructions to
install the update manually if this fix cannot be applied.

B. For BigFix Compliance Analytics versions before 1.9:

1.      Manually upgrade to version 1.10.1.48. The 1.10.1.48 installer can
be found here
http://software.bigfix.com/download/bfc/server/1.10/bfc-server-1.10.1.48.exe

2.      After manually upgrading to version 1.10.1.48, use the BigFix
Compliance Server 2.0 Upgrade Fixlet to upgrade to version 2.0 (See step A).
