Install Sophos Cloud endpoint without interaction

BrianPaul

We currently install Sophos silently, but we are having the issue of people not waiting for it to install fully because they do not see the install.  I would like the install to show the progress, but not allow any interaction (not needing to click "next" and not able to click cancel).  It looks as if this is not possible given the switches available.  We have pushed several programs over the years and it seems they always have the switch for a non-interactive install.  Is there a way to accomplish this with Sophos Central Endpoint?

    I doesn't appear so.  How are you going to be rolling it out?  E.g.

    End Users run the exe manually?
    AD startup script?
    Some other agent to deploy it?

    Are you running SophosSetup.exe from a script, e.g. batch file, Powershell, VBScript?

    It would be quite simple to wrap, SophosSetup.exe with something that can do this if required.  If you're already calling SophosSetup.exe from a script that would be useful.

    We are using a GPO with a startup script.  I created a VB program that will check to see if SophosSetup.exe is running and will hold the form open and on top until SophosSetup finishes.  Not sure why Sophos wouldn't have a switch where the install is done without interaction, but showing progress so people know to let it finish.  I've always felt that this option is must useful and most installers do have this option.
