FCP – FortiClient Administrator 7.4 — Question 8

An endpoint security administrator is using FortiClient EMS version 7.2.5 to manage 1000 endpoints running FortiClient 7.2.0. The administrator needs to upgrade their environment to FortiClient EMS 7.4 to take advantage of new features.
Which method should the FortiClient EMS administrator use to upgrade FortiClient EMS from version 7.2.5 to version 7.4?

Answer options

• A. Upgrade the Microsoft SQL database and then upgrade to FortiClient EMS 7.4.
• B. Use the migration tool available on Fortinet support site.
• C. Upgrade FortiClient EMS using the 7.4 installation file.
• D. Manually back up the database on FortiClient EMS 7.2.5 and then upgrade it on FortiClient EMS 7.4.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because upgrading FortiClient EMS using the 7.4 installation file is the direct method to execute the upgrade. Options A and D involve unnecessary steps such as database upgrades or backups that are not required for this specific upgrade process. Option B suggests using a migration tool, which is not the standard procedure for upgrading to a newer version directly.
