The exact upgrading procedure of the syslog-ng Agent for Windows application depends on how you have installed and how you manage the agent.

When upgrading agents running in domain mode, always upgrade the agents running on the domain hosts before upgrading the agent running on the domain controllers. The hosts of a domain (including the domain controllers) should run the same version of the syslog-ng Agent, running different versions on the hosts in neither supported nor recommended. |
If a host is running the syslog-ng agent in standalone mode, download and execute the syslog-ng-agent-<versionnumber>-setup.exe installer on the host and verify that the displayed information is correct. The agent will be automatically restarted when you close the configuration window.
If a domain host is running the syslog-ng agent that was installed by the domain controller from the .msi installer package, complete the steps described in Section 5.1.2, “Installing the syslog-ng agent on the domain controller and the hosts of a domain”. The system will automatically recognize that the new package will update the syslog-ng Agent for Windows application.
If a domain host is running the syslog-ng agent that was installed manually from the syslog-ng-agent-nosnapin-<versionnumber>-setup.exe file, run the new syslog-ng-agent-nosnapin-<versionnumber>-setup.exe file on the host. After the installation is complete, select Start > Run and execute the gpupdate command to refresh the domain settings of the agent.
