Upgrade steps for Windows

Steps

  1. Download the latest package builder from the Forcepoint Support site:
    1. Log on to the Forcepoint Downloads page.
    2. Do one of the following:
      • In Products select Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and in Product Options select Endpoint (DLP).
      • In Products select Web Security, and in Product Options select Endpoint (Web).
      • In Products select Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), and in Product Options select Endpoint (NGFW).
    3. Select the desired package builder.
      The Product Installer view opens.
    4. Click Download.
      A ZIP file named ForcepointOneEndpointPackage.zip downloads.
  2. Before you create the Forcepoint DLP Endpoint installation package:
    • You must be logged on to the Forcepoint DLP server with a Service Account before you run the package builder. Otherwise, incorrect communication keys are created and Forcepoint DLP Endpoint cannot connect to the Forcepoint DLP server.
    • You must copy the Endpoint Classifier files from ForcepointOneEndpointPackage.zip to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Websense\Data Security\client\OS X folder. For more information about this step, see Forcepoint DLP Endpoint Windows and Mac deployments.
  3. Open ForcepointOneEndpointPackage.zip and run WebsenseEndpointPackageBuilder.exe.
  4. On the Select Endpoint Components screen, select both of the following:
    • Forcepoint Web Security Endpoint
    • Forcepoint DLP Endpoint
  5. Under Forcepoint Web Security Endpoint, select Remote Filtering Client.
  6. Choose Windows 64-bit when prompted.
  7. Complete the configuration in the installation wizard to create the installation package.
  8. Deploy the package to each endpoint machine using GPO, SMS, or a similar deployment method. You can install this version on top of earlier versions without uninstalling the earlier versions.
    Important: If you deploy Forcepoint F1E using GPO, do not restrict access to the command prompt. The Disable the command prompt script processing also? option should be set to No.
  9. Restart the endpoint machine after installation is complete.

    For more information about using the Forcepoint F1E package builder and installing and deploying Forcepoint F1E solutions, see the Installation and Deployment Guide for Forcepoint F1E.
