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,

    So I was reading the documentation a little more closely and discovered that you

    use a domain account to do the installation. The domain accounts they suggested were

    created and during the installation I used the appropriate account.

    Everything seems to be working good now.

    We just need to finish up the editing of the mrinit.conf file and then check the registry

    keys to make sure that when the relay computer is protected, that it acts as a relay.

    Thanks for the help.

    Will report back when it is fully up and running.

    Cheers
