Questions regarding the Relay Message Computer(s)

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

  • Hi jak,

    I did eventually find that folder thank you.

    I have never noticed that folder before! Sorry about that!

    When we do the installation of the additonal sum it asked for an account for the SophosUpdateMgr.

    In the documentation of adding an addtional sum it says to leave everything as default. Do we need to change this 

    account to a domain account to have it work correctly?

    The second SUM showed up in the SEC but when we try and access it it errors out.

    Thank you
