Dear all, I have been tasked with looking into viable options for upgrading clients currently installed with Sophos Safeguard 5.6 to the new version 6.0. Up until now we have installed all of our clients manually but I am also researching the best way of pusing the installs onto the machines using WMI/GPO. I have a couple of questions that I am hoping someone will be able to answer:- If I configure and test (successfully) a new client installation using GPO, will Safeguard upgrade a client currently installed with version 5.6 to 6.0 using the same GPO? What parts of the installation need to be run on machines requiring the upgrade (i.e. pre-config, client, post-config)? Is there a way of automatically adding the user that logs into the machine after the GPO push as owner? I know my questions are all different angles/areas but hopefully I can get some or all of the answer and I appreciate any help anyone can offer. Kind Regards, Daniel Bowman-Le Beau Spelthorne Borough Council. :23235

Upgrading Safeguard 5.6 Clients to 6.0

Dear all,

I have been tasked with looking into viable options for upgrading clients currently installed with Sophos Safeguard 5.6 to the new version 6.0. Up until now we have installed all of our clients manually but I am also researching the best way of pusing the installs onto the machines using WMI/GPO. I have a couple of questions that I am hoping someone will be able to answer:-

If I configure and test (successfully) a new client installation using GPO, will Safeguard upgrade a client currently installed with version 5.6 to 6.0 using the same GPO?
What parts of the installation need to be run on machines requiring the upgrade (i.e. pre-config, client, post-config)?
Is there a way of automatically adding the user that logs into the machine after the GPO push as owner?

I know my questions are all different angles/areas but hopefully I can get some or all of the answer and I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

I'm pretty sure your answer to #2 is in the Installation Guide for 6.0. I think you'll find the answer to #1 that way too.
As for #3, if after the install there is no owner the next person who logs in becomes the owner (at least this is how it works in my environment).
