Sophos Central Advanced on Hyper-V HOST

Dave Hayes

Hello..We do a lot of Hyper-V installations with many Windows VM Guests and have started installing Sophos Advanced Server Advanced-X on the Windows VM's and all is well.  However, I have been reading where Sophos Central Server Advanced is NOT supported on Hyper-V.  Specifically a Hyper-V host such as 2012, 2016 or 2019 with the GUI installed and the Hyper-V Role installed.  There is not support for that.

Now to me this is a huge vulnerability especially if the Hyper-V host is on the domain.  Does Sophos have any solutions for this I am not seeing in their portfolio?  Do we need to need to move those Hyper-V hosts into their own workgroup or possibly DMZ? 

Thanks

Dave

    Hi  

    We do not support Hyper-V when installed as a Standalone Hypervisor - note that a Standalone Hypervisor is different from a Hyper-V role on standard windows server.

    When you say Hyper-V host such as 2012, 2016 or 2019 with Hyper-V role means you have datacenter (or any other) edition and you have enabled Hyper-V role on that server. Am I right? Or do you mean standalone Hyper-V hypervisor?

    I hope my comments will help you understand the difference and support for your environment.

    Thank you for your response.  Yes. You are correct.  I am NOT referring to the stand alone hypervisor (core). I am referring to a windows server standard or datacenter version running the full GUI and have the hyper v role installed.

    Are you saying the configuration I indicated above is supported? If so are there any special exclusions needed for the VHD files?

    Thanks again
