Upgrading Safeguard 5.6 Clients to 6.0

lebeaudj

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:-

  1. 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?
  2. What parts of the installation need to be run on machines requiring the upgrade (i.e. pre-config, client, post-config)?
  3. 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,

    When upgrading the clients you don't need to remove the old software, it upgrades in place for windows DE/DX installs and SOPHOS maintains some good backwards/forwards compatability between old servers and new clients or visa versa depending on the versions.  I was running SG5.6 and was able to upgrade to SG6 without isses or removing anything.
