Enterprise Console Upgrade from 3.x to 4.5 accross domains

IT-Monkey

Mornin all,

I have spent quite a bit of time reading through the migration guides found in the knowledge base and its covered pretty much everything.

My only question left is regarding the requirement for the new and old server to be on the same Domain.

Is it at all possible to migrate to a different domain?  (the end points are going to remain on the old domain for the time being)

Thanks

Mark

    Actually, I falsley reported the OS as the issue. It is actually an SQL version conflict. Other existing services using SQL on the 3.x server need to remain untouched. For sanity reasons we are moving Sophos to a fresh rebuilt 03 server... no AD in use.

    So you are saying SEC 3.x and 4.x can co-exist?? Goal is to only keep the SEC 3.x services running until all the clients are managed & updating from the SEC 4.x.

    Assistance is appreciated.

    So if you can install SEC3.1 on the new server do it, follow article 28276 (forget the part about identical name and IP) but do not upgrade at this time. See for additional steps (which also mentions a slightly different scenario).

    Hello there,

    I am really new to Sophos enterprise console, and my Boss asked me to upgrade sophos enterprise console 3.1 to sophos enterprise console to 4.5 I have read the upgrade guide but there is a lot of information. I hope that you can give me a guide how to upgrade SEC 3.1 to 4.5 step by step, I would be so graceful. Thanks in advance!

    Hello Zishi,

    you'll find already lots of information in this forum (not only this thread). Your problem is likely  to separate the wheat from the chaff - we could perhaps help you but we'd need the details of your setup (OS and database versions, number of clients, whether AD or not and so on).

    Did you run the Upgrade Advisor tool? If not, do it now - it's non-invasive and you'd have to run it anyway before upgrading.
