Package for standalone AV

Jvuz

Hello,

we have some machines that are not connected to our network. For those pc's, notebooks I can install the standalone version, but you need to give in username and password. Is there a way to create a package where you can set the username and password to dowload the updates from the sophos site, so that when you want to install it on a machine, you just need to run that package and it will be installed without giving in the username and password.

    Hello Jo,

    Sophos is not permitted as Primary for managed PCs (it's kind of reminder for the license T&C). Basically you have to configure Sophos as Secondary and after exporting the policy you have two options:

    1. Leave it as it is, the clients will first attempt the Primary and then fall back to Sophos as secondary. It introduces a small delay (and logs the errors of course) but has otherwise no ill effects
    2. Edit sauconf.xml to make Sophos the Primary (it is pretty straightforward)

    You should use -mng no on setup.exe (you probably have it in mind anyway) as you don't need RMS and it can't be downloaded from Sophos (and would result in download errors).

    Also the minimum interval is 60 minutes for downloading from Sophos so you should configure the schedule accordingly.
