I've had several PMRs re 6.3 and 6.3.1 Monitoring/AdminCenter/CommonReporting. Also on Windows 2008 R2. 6.3 wasn't easy, but 6.3.1 upgrade was even tougher. Most PMRs resulted in issuing long, complex command line commands to try to move forward. At one point, I couldn't run the GUI installer

I do like the GUI of AdminCenter, I don't look forward to everything via command line. But, using documented versions of the browser isn't the fix. I think I had about 8 PMRs just to deal with trying to install Monitoring/AdminCenter. Once installed, I'm finding it's not ready for prime
