Thank you

. Could you please provide me with the link to the guide for restoring my WAPT backup?

If you had a virtual machine, you can simply restore the snapshot.

Otherwise, for the backup:

Just to clarify, could you tell me if it's a Windows Server x86 or x64?

Another backup method:

For the time being, and given the urgency, I'm going to attempt a minimal migration to Windows:

So, if I back up the folders: c:\wapt\waptserver\repository\wapt and C:\private,

uninstall WAPT 1.3.13
install WAPT 1.5
, and follow the procedure you indicated , will that be sufficient?

Thank you


. Yes, it is indeed a 64-bit version of Windows 2008R2.

To put it simply, do you have an internal Active Directory?

Yes, I have an Active Directory (Windows 2012 R2)

So yes, you can install a new WAPT server version 1.5 alongside the existing WAPT 1.3 server.

You can then deploy the 1.5 agent via GPO using waptdeploy.

To re-import all the packages from the old server to the new one, you can add your old server as an external repository in your WAPT 1.5 console and re-import all the packages.

Then, we rely on GPOs and waptdeploy to deploy the new agent version 1.5.

I uninstalled WAPT 1.5, rebooted Windows 2008R2 x64,

and then reinstalled WAPT 1.5. I get exactly the same error.

I just reinstalled Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 (fresh install).

I'm getting the exact same error as you with Windows Server 2008 R2.

I just tried it again and

it works for me.

What virtualization system do you have?
