Questions regarding the Relay Message Computer(s)

toddh

Hi,

I have been reading about Relay Message Computers.

I have some questions about it as I didn't fully understand everything.

When you are creating your new distibution location, is this location a location on the SEC? Or is this location on the intended Relay Message Computer/Server?

Does the Relay Message Computer need to be in the list of Update Managers? And if it does, I would assume we would create our new distrubution point on this Update Manager. From what I understand, the Relay Message Computer should not be listed as a Update Manager.

When you create your new update policy, do you point directly at the new distribution point under the "Address" field? On our current SEC we have S000 through to S005, but under the update policy we just have \\<servername>\SophosUpdate. Based on what you subscribe to the server knows which folder to push the updates from. How does this work for the Relay Message Computer?

Sorry if these questions aren't clear. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of how this is supposed to work.

Thank you

    Hey jak,

    thanks for your reply.

    I think the route of creating the second SUM is the route we are going to take.

    When we are installing the second SUM it asks for an SQL database. Should we be connecting back to the Sophos instance on the primary SEC server? Or should we create a new local instance?

    When you say "you can run the setup.exe from the SUM install share on the SEC..." do you mean the setup.exe contained under

    \\[Server1]\SophosUpdate\CIDs\Sxxx\[package name] ? Or a different setup.exe? I ran this just as a test but it only has options to install the Anti-Virus itself.

    I think after that I understand the rest of your instructions.

    thank you
