Thank you for the quick reply, pesko. I tried the MIGRATESETTINGS parameter, but that didn't seem to affect the outcome. I'm trying to avoid having to run a manual uninstall first, as there are different versions on all 300 machines I'm looking to upgrade (7.61, 7.62, 8.1.1). What was that about a parent server? Should I throw that in the command line too? Thanks, Eclipse
