9. Run the PolyServe mxcheck utility provided with Matrix Server 3.6.0.

This utility verifies that the server’s configuration meets the

requirements for running Matrix Server. Insert the Matrix Server CD

into the CD drive or go to the directory where you downloaded the

product and then double-click the file mxcheck.exe. Output from the

utility appears on the screen and is also written to the Application Log

section of the Event Viewer. We recommend that you fix any problems

identified by mxcheck before you install Matrix Server.

10. Install Matrix Server 3.6.0. Locate the file MxS_3.6.0.<xxxx>.msi on the

product CD or in the directory where you downloaded the software.

Double-click on the MxS_3.6.0.<xxxx>.msi file and run the Installation

Wizard. To complete the installation, reboot the server as directed by

the popup message.

11. Install the PolyServe Solution Packs. Insert the appropriate CD into

the CD drive or go to the location where you have downloaded the

software.

– For MxDB for SQL Server, double click the file

MxDB_SQL_3.6.0.<xxxx>.msi and run the Installation Wizard.

– For MxFS for CIFS, double-click the file MxFS_3.6.0.<xxxx>.msi and

run the Installation Wizard.

12. Restore the Matrix Server configuration that you saved in step 3. Be

sure to copy the \conf directory back to its original location: %Program

Files%\PolyServe\MatrixServer\conf.

13. Start the PolyServe Management Console and enter the login

credentials for the server that you are upgrading. Click the down

arrow on the Connect button to see the options, and then click on

Configure.
