Custom Standalone Mac Installer

Hello.  I'm hoping someone can help with a question or two.

In the past we have created custom install packages for our Mac clients.  A "managed" version that after install reports back to our server for updates, has our server as the primary location and Sophos as the secondary, etc and an "unmanaged" version that only has Sophos as the primary update location as well as a few custom preference settings.  This had been done using the SUM tool but I've been told that product no longer works for version 9.x.  I can use the .mpkg file from our server as the "managed" version installer but nobody can tell me how to create the custom "unmanaged" version.

I feel there must be a way to acomplish this but don't know how.  I find it odd that Sophos would remove the abilities of the SUM tool without having something to take its place.  SUM still works and downloads data but only downloads old data.

Can someone tell me how we are supposed to continue offering the "unmanaged" version to our users?  I know Sophos has the stand-alone version of the products available on the website for download but that isn't configured the way we could like it for our customers.  If there was a way to modify the settings inside ofthat package perhaps that might work but I don't know if that's possible either.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Yep, you're right.  See this article...

    That looks like the only options though.  Configuring Primary and Secondary update locations.  No other options.  If that is correct, that really doesn't help here.  I'm sure the Stand-alone insataller from Sophos has Sophos configured as the Primary location anyway.  (Which is what we want.)  But, being able to set options in the software itself so that things are preconfigured after the install is what we need.  If you are familiar with how SUM worked...  same thing.
