Okta Active Directory Agent automatic rollback after failed upgrade
0 reputation · 08 May 2022, 21:26 UTC
The Okta Active Directory Agent installer backs up the previous version's binaries and configuration before an upgrade, but documentation indicates it does not automatically revert when an upgrade fails. The goal is to confirm whether the agent or its self-update mechanism attempts any automatic rollback after a health-check failure, or whether the previous version must be reinstalled manually.
Uncertainty remains around schema changes: if the upgrade modifies the local agent database, restoring the older binaries may not be sufficient because the older agent may fail to start with a schema mismatch. It is also unclear whether Okta Admin Console centralized agent management exposes any remote rollback command, or whether recovery must be performed locally on each server.
For supported agent versions, what determines whether automatic rollback occurs after a failed upgrade? Does a schema change block the previous version from starting even when binaries are restored? Is rollback strictly a local server operation with no remote command from the Okta Admin Console?
