17 Important Information for 6.5.x Latest Documentation To access the latest AD Enterprise Release Notes and documentation: Download the zip file from Installation and upgrade If you install AD Enterprise on a Windows bit computer, you must configure the ASP.NET service extension. To configure this, do the following: Open the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. In the left pane, click Web Service Extensions. In the extensions list, click ASP.NET v4.x. Click Allow. The FTK Suite (FTK, AD Lab, AD Enterprise) no longer supports multiple products of the same version running on the same machine at the same time. The user can only install one of the three products of a specific version on a single machine. (29786, 30927) AD Enterprise supports Distributed Processing Engines (DPEs). Using the AD Enterprise 6.5 Agent with ediscovery 6.3 SP2. W A R N I N G: ediscovery 6.3 SP2 can use the Enterprise 6.5 agent. However, because they use different database versions, do not install Enterprise 6.5 on an ediscovery 6.3 server. Only install products together when they are the same version. Otherwise, installing Enterprise will upgrade the ediscovery database and you cannot revert that change without a database restore. Agent Support Official Support for Red Hat Linux 6.x and 7.x The 6.2 Linux Agent requires GLIBC 2.17 or newer. Collection from a system running on an older GLIBC version can be attempted using the 6.1 version of the Agent, which can be obtained by contacting AccessData Support. A system s GLIBC version can be determined by running the following command: Idd -version. Upgrading CodeMeter AD Enterprise and later include an updated version of CodeMeter Runtime Kit (5.21). If this is a new installation of AD Enterprise you do not need to do anything and the latest version of CodeMeter is installed. If you are upgrading to AD Enterprise 5.6.1, be aware that a security vulnerability has been detected in Codemeter 4.5. However, if you simply upgrade from CodeMeter 4.5 to 5.21, the vulnerability remains. To fix the vulnerability, you must manually uninstall 4.5 before installing If you are upgrading to AD Enterprise 5.6.1, manually uninstall CodeMeter first and then install AD Enterprise which will install a clean CodeMeter Otherwise, after upgrading to AD Enterprise 5.6.1, manually uninstall CodeMeter 4.5 and then manually install CodeMeter AccessData AD Enterprise 6.5 Release Notes Important Information for 6.5.x 17

18 Running PostgreSQL on a Virtual Machine If you run PostgreSQL on a virtual machine with a dynamically allocated virtual hard drive, you must manually stop the PostgreSQL service before rebooting the virtual machine. Otherwise, PostgreSQL will become corrupted. If you run PostgreSQL on a virtual machine with a fixed size virtual hard drive, then PostgreSQL will not become corrupted when rebooting. KFF The KFF Server now uses the Apache Cassandra database. The version of Cassandra being used requires 64-bit Java 8. No other version of Java (7 or 9) is currently supported. To install Java, go to: If you are using a 32-bit browser, you may automatically download the 32-bit version. You must use the 64-bit version. When importing data using the KFF Import Utility, make sure that you get a confirmation that the import is complete before processing data using that KFF data. This is particularly important when importing NSRL data that takes several hours to import. Deleting NDIC, DHS, and NSRL KFF libraries. As of 6.3, you can delete NDIC, DHS, and NSRL libraries from within the AD Enterprise application. Important: Deleting these libraries from the application can take from one to several hours. We recommend that you delete these libraries using the KFF Import Utility. Only the Project VIC and NSRL sets are locked/protected. All other sets in the KFF can be modified and archived. NDIC or DHS sets cannot be migrated and must be imported into the 6.4 or later version of KFF. Recommendations If you choose to have a case s database files placed in the case folder, do not move your case folder without first archiving and detaching the case. When creating a Custom Data View, the available filter list should not include: Checked Files, Unchecked Files (checked status is not available across users), Bookmarked Files, Labeled Files (too broad and will include all bookmarks or labels). These filters have been removed from the list. (6533) Difference in file handling when using Belkasoft parsing: If a SQLite database is encountered in the evidence that could have been handled by the Belkasoft parser but the Belkasoft All-in-One processing option was not checked, that SQLite database will get expanded using a generic SQLite expansion that shows tables and rows. Any evidence processed in the manner that is later re-processed (using Additional Analysis) with the Belkasoft All-in-One expansion option will NOT be expanded using Belksoft technology but will remain with the original expanded items. To expand a SQLite database using Belkasoft technology that has already been expanded as a generic SQLite database, it must be added as a new, different piece of evidence, or a new case must be created. Windows build used for testing this release Windows 10 Version 1709 (OS Build ) AccessData AD Enterprise 6.5 Release Notes Important Information for 6.5.x 18

19 New AD1 files and Imager 3.4.x Any AD1 file created by FTK or Summation 6.0 or later can only be opened with Imager or later. Imager 3.4 can be freely download from the AD website: Using an older version of Imager will result in an Image detection failed error. This happens because the AD1 format was enhanced to support forward compatibility between AccessData products. Newer AD1s have a version 4 in the header instead of 3. A hex editor can be used to quickly determine if your AD1 is v3 or v4. Known Issues in 6.5 Known Issues Enterprise Roles and Rights for seeing tabs in the Examiner Agent - Drive Preview The Agent - Drive Preview right replaced the Browse right in previous versions. When configuring Roles and Rights in Enterprise 6.5 for non-administrators, in order for a user to see the Explore, Graphics, Live Search, and Index Search tabs in the Examiner, their role must include the Agent-Drive Preview right. Otherwise, when users access the Examiner, those tabs are not visible. (15099) Tasks Task and Bookmark notes: When attempting to change a font in a note, some text must be selected first. If you change the font without pre-selecting text, you will get an error. (14923) Android phone support When viewing Android phone Contact information in the Overview tab, on the File Content > Natural tab, the Display Name is displayed twice.
