move endpoints to different sub-estate

onward

We migrated from on premises SEC to Sophos Central in 2016 before sub-estates existed in Central.  We now have enabled the new Central Enterprise console + master licensing and the original Central account has become a sub estate.  Another new sub estate has been created for IT staff at one of our business units which currently has no devices.  How can I move their 75 desktops and servers from the original account's sub estate to their new sub estate?

edit: I would also like to know how to copy existing policies, website settings, tag lists between sub estates so we're not reinventing the wheel with each one.

    Hi,

    Currently it is not possible to import policies and settings from On prem Manager (SEC) to Central. Moving clients from SEC to Central is possible, but keeping the exact structure (Sub estates, sub domains, or even groups) is not possible. However Installer package from each sub estate in Sophos Central can get the endpoints on which it is used to communicate the specific sub estate.

    my question was regarding migrating those items from one Sophos Central sub estate everything is on to a newly created Sophos Central sub estate both under the same Sophos Central Enterprise account with shared licensing.

    As far as i know, this is not "quite easy" possible. There are certain attempts to do it, but those scripts can break everything. 

    The Endpoint as several "pointer" and it is not quite easy to move the Endpoint (local) to another Central Admin Instance. 

    The other point is, it is not quite easy to move a existing Endpoint from Central perspective to another central Instance. 

     

    So the official answer by myself would be - No.

    If you have a enterprise level environment, you could talk to Professional Service. 

     

    In smaller Instances, you can simply "overwrite" the installation by the other Sophos Endpoint installer. Keep in Mind, you need to disable temper protection.
