  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Upgrade to 8.3 went ok.

I was not sure if I really wanted to upgrade from 8.2 to 8.3 after I have read all the "horror" stories about upgrades that went wrong.
But some features in 8.3 (Acronis) was needed, and I had to upgrade.

Here is what I did to have a "perfect" upgrade:

1) Full backup the server (Acronis)
2) Backup through Plesk Backup
3) Plesk Reconfigurator : Check everything. It found some minor NTFS security settings, which I changed.
4) SmarterStat Check
5) Start the installer exe file, and was nervous the next 30 min :)
6) Reboot after the installation was done.

After reboot I checked everything like webmail, control panel, sql etc. Everything was just fine and running.

Well I had many forum posting open with good advises from other "unlucky" upgraders, under the upgrade process. Luckely I didn't need them.

Have a nice day. Greetings from Sisimiut, Greenland.
