Logs Directory for Web Farm Upgrade

When you upgrade a MOVEit Transfer Server node, ensure that the local logs directory defined in the Web Farm install configuration for all nodes already exists (or create one on each node). If the installer does not find this local logs directory, it will return a failure message and halt during the Web Farm scale-out process.

Any custom schema, tables, and fields (if applicable) must be backed up

It is best practice to backup any customizations before you run the MOVEit Transfer installer. MOVEit Transfer database schema customizations are not supported. If you change the name or add schema, indexes, or tables, the MOVEit Installer will not expect these manual changes and attempt to revert them.

Reset tamper check for logs

If you have logs that include data from before and after a software upgrade, tamper check verification shows false positive tamper errors when verifying the logs.

To prevent this situation, do the following when upgrading MOVEit DMZ software to MOVEit Transfer 2017 (and later).

  1. Before you upgrade, manually start the MOVEit DMZ Log Tamper Check program from the Start menu.
  2. Immediately after you upgrade:
    • Sign-on as System Administrator. Click SETTINGS.
    • In the System section, Tamper Detection row, click Reset All Orgs.
  3. Click Reset Tamper Detection Data.

Updates to the MOVEit Transfer Add-in for Outlook

Improvements to the Add-in are generally made to the web application and require no action on your part. However, occasionally there are improvements that include updates to the XML file that is used to install and launch the Add-in in Microsoft Outlook. When a new version of the Add-in XML file is released (as announced in the MOVEit Transfer release notes), you will need to update the Add-in.
Note: You may experience a delay between updating an Add-in in Microsoft 365 Admin Center and seeing it propagate to all your users. Depending on the size of your organization, this propagation process can take several hours to complete.

Update Using Admin Center

You can access Microsoft 365 admin center from https://admin.microsoft.com. You need 365 administrator permissions. Check with your Microsoft administrator for details.
Note: For details on how you can deploy Outlook Add-ins from the Admin Center, see the Microsoft documentation topic titled Deploy Add-ins Using the Admin Center.
  1. From Microsoft 365 admin center, click Settings > Integrated apps.

    The Home - Integrated apps page displays.

  2. Click the row for the currently deployed MOVEit Transfer Add-in.

    The details panel for the Add-in displays to the right.

  3. At the bottom of the Deploy Add-in panel, click Update add-in.

    The Update file panel displays.

  4. Choose Provide link to manifest file. Provide the url for the MOVEit manifest file and click Validate (https://moveit.addins.progress.com/transfer/outlook/manifest.xml)
    Note:  You must include the "https://" when you upload the add-in's manifest. If you omit the "https://" at upload, and it is needed, an error displays.
  5. Once the file has successfully validated, click Next, then click Accept and Update to deploy the updated manifest file for the Add-in to your organization.
