Hello, we are looking to migrate from McAfee VSE 8.7/EPO 4.5 to Sophos ES&DP 9.5/EC 4.5. At the moment I have our EPO server set to synchronise with AD at 1AM, run a query to see what systems are discovered are unmanaged by the server, then every two ours it tries to push out the McAfee agent to any unmanaged systems in the database. This works great, even catches the people with laptops who rarely plug them in to the network for more than a few hours a month. I've set up a 30 day trial Sophos server and can't seem to replicate this functionality. I set up a Container, set it to Synchronise with an OU in AD, Automatically protect clients etc, Synchronise every 60 mins (also set it to 5 for testing). If the PC is turned off or not on the network when EC first discovers it via AD sync it then logs an error 0000002e but then that's it, it never tries again - is this correct? Is there no way to get the EC to re-try the push either next synchronisation or every two hours or something? If not then it will require us to manually contact the user, get them to plug it in, then Right click > Protect computers (or delete all the errored devices several times a day) - this is obviously no good. Another option of course is AD logon scripts or deploy with Zenworks or SMS but that's just rubbish compared to the EPO set up, I want as much automation as possible with little administrator interaction.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul
