Upgrading Labtech RMM to Version 10.5

Before upgrading to LabTech 10.5, you need to follow the upgrade documentation provided by LabTech:

https://docs.labtechsoftware.com/LabTech10.5/Default.htm#Installation_Upgrade/
LabTechServerInstallation/Upgrades/LabTech105Upgrade.htm#Important

It is important to follow all of the instructions, as you should have a backup of your LabTech server as well as ensure the requirements are met. When you are ready to upgrade to LabTech 10.5, download and run the installer. Initially, the installer will check to ensure your systems meets the requirements.

If you see any red X’s, you will first need to install or upgrade those components. Click the Help link at the end of each item to be directed to LabTech documentation that will walk you through the installation.

**Note: If you are missing the MySQL connect, the 64-bit connector is required. The LabTech documentation points to the 32-bit version, but this will cause the prerequisite check to fail and the red X will remain.

Once you have everything installed, click the Check Prerequisites button and your window should look as below:

You are no ready to continue with the installation. Click Next. The installer will now run.

Click Next for Installer to run.

Upon completion, open the control center and log in. From here you should navigate to Tools > Solution Center in the menu bar. Updates will be available in the Solution Center but as always, you should only update what you need to. You are now updated to LabTech 10.5 and ready to take advantage of the new features.

Upgrading Labtech RMM to Version 10.5

I truly view ProVal as a partner and extension of my team, not as one of my vendors

When our NOC Manager left last fall we wanted to replace the position with an outsourced NOC to reduce headcount, and bring in an expert to both Labtech and our backup solutions. Bringing in ProVal Technologies was one of the best decisions we made last year and has paid for itself.During our first few monthly recurring Labtech admin meetings the ProVal team discovered incorrect settings and policies that were not applying correctly in our Labtech server. Things that we thought were automated and working were not. For example, there were multiple scripts and policies running but set to do nothing such as disk cleanup scripts. Cisco Umbrella was not configured correctly. Server alerting was not set right and the list went on.The backup team sends daily and weekly reports and updates that reduce my technicians time that we used to spend on backup or antivirus tickets that took forever and were tedious.ProVal also brings in great insights to our business and really cares about our success. They will frequently mention to me in meetings what new scripts they can import to make us more efficient or will schedule upgrades to our backups, Labtech, etc so I don’t have to worry. I truly view ProVal as a partner and extension of my team not as one of my vendors.

They will quickly become an extension of your team and your ROI will reflect the results

We have been a long time user of Labtech and had tried for many years to manage the product internally with no real success at the level we needed to make our solutions more efficient for our customers. Once we hired Vikram and his team at ProVal, it solved all our pain points with the product and we really felt like we were leveraging the tool as it was designed. If this sounds like you and it’s keeping you up at night, then you need these guys. They will quickly become an extension of your team and your ROI will reflect the results.

They work well, fast and on budget

We met Vikram from ProVal Tech at Gary Pica’s Shnizzfest a year ago. Vikram explained the advantage of having trained, certified personnel take care of our recent Automate implementation. Even though we had taken an implementation package from ConnectWise to start up the program, we felt many custom configurations we needed for our business were lacking. We hired ProVal Tech after Automate was installed to help us with this task. From sales to technicians everyone was professional and knowledgeable. Onboarding was simple, and well documented. Tools on the web were supplied while we did the work, and they allowed us to track what was done, and see the improvements in the environment. It was easy to reach any of the team members, for any concern or question – all answered with courtesy and smile. Once the work was finished, we were given some training and explanations, add to that documentation, about the work and the scripts and features added to the program. We have been happily working with Automate since then. We can only recommend this efficient team of people for any work into Automate: they work well, fast and on budget.
