Intro
If you want to get a reliable and safe working discussion system please keep both Windows and DICENTIS up dated!
You need to enable "update your Windows and other Microsoft products" under Advanced setting to get all necessary updates.
Schedule your Windows updates to run at a time when the system is not used. Updating during a meeting/conference could lead to a platform problems for our DICENTIS Software and as result to instability.
If you schedule the update via the Windows Task Manager, you should also configure that it automatically reboots after the update, in case a reboot is required.
DICENTIS should have the same publishing date as Windows Server updates. Means it is necessary if you plan to update DICENTIS always to update Windows before and then DICENTIS.
Switch the Windows update function off if you operate with an offline system.
The following example below is showing how you should update Windows Server (2016). An internet connection is necessary on your server for that.
1. Click on the search button Windows Update settings and press enter.
2. Go to Advanced options.
3. Enable "updates for other Microsoft products…" as well as "Defer feature updates".
4. Now trigger the update with " Check for updates". At that point you should rethink how you can maintain
5. Please check before you update your DICENTIS Software if you have a valid SMA which you can look up in the DICENTIS Activation Tool on the server or with your Account on the System Activation Site.
Please don't forget to Update all Clients with the Windows and DICENTIS software as well.
6. With the Windows Event Viewer you can check for problems or errors.
7. For example you can check the MSSQL if it is working fine.
