Different IDE Numbers

Jeremy Reyes

Hi Everyone,

I tried searching for a reason where I couldn't really find an answer, but is there a reason why there are different IDE numbers for certain OS's? For the few XP machines we have, the IDE is 261 and Server 2003 is 120. 

Anything from Windows 7+ and Server 2008+ seems to get the current IDE number.

I just would like to know a reason just incase we get audited and they ask for a reason. Thank you!

 

Also, in our VDI environment, SEC is not updating most of the virtual desktops status (IDE and Last Scan Completed), but if I look at the desktop locally, the IDE and 'Last Scan Completed' date are current. Is there a way to fix this in bulk? 

I tried using this procedure (https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/12561) and it works if I do every desktop individually, but if I apply it to the master image then recompose the VDI's, it will not work for some reason. Am I missing a step?

    Hi  

    Sophos Anti-Virus IDE files are cross-platform. All operating system versions of Sophos Anti-Virus can use the same IDE files but the numbers may differ as per the OS infrastructure. You can always check if you are up-to-date by checking Latest IDE files, please find the link here. Support for XP and 2003 has been stopped, but we do offer extended support for both if you have purchased the same.
