Problem conclusion

  • The SPP MMC GUI cannot be upgraded because replacing the running
    binaries is not allowed by Windows system. As the fix, SPP
    Exchange agent will check if the SPP MMC GUI is running on the
    target machine when it need to be upgraded. If we need to
    upgrade SPP MMC GUI and it's running, then the granular restore
    job will fail with appropriate message output in job log.
