No. Updatetool does not update anything under the glassfish/domains
directory.

Depending on what version you started with an what version you updated
to, you
may be encountering changes in the behavior of secure admin with newer
versions
of GlassFish. Newer versions prevent accessing the console from a
remote system
unless secure admin is enabled (using asadmin enable-secure-admin). Also to
enable secure admin, an admin password is now required.
