WinCollect is not supported on versions of Windows that have been moved to End Of Life by Microsoft. After software is beyond the Extended Support End Date the product might still function as expected, however, Juniper Networks will not make code or vulnerability fixes to resolve WinCollect issues for older operating systems. For example, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 and Microsoft Windows XP are operating systems that are beyond the 'Extended Support End Date'. Any questions about this announcement can be discussed in the JSA Collecting Windows Events (WMI/ALE/WinCollect) forum.

Download and install the WinCollect configuration console to manage your stand-alone deployment. You can choose an option to install just the WinCollect patch, if you are deploying WinCollect on a large number of Windows hosts that do not require the configuration console.
- Download the patch software from https://support.juniper.net/support/downloads/ onto the Windows host where you want to install the configuration console.
- Open the executable file on your system.
- Follow the steps in the installation wizard. You can select an option to install both the WinCollect configuration console, and the WinCollect patch, or just the patch.
