Client protection with local Windows Policies Enabled

uiltgilgiluhgjo

Hey

I Configured a Server (Workgroup Enviroment) with sophos Enterprise Console 5 which works on clients with no local windows policies enabled all clients get there updates and sophos works very well.

Now i got another network with the same configuration only now all this clients have Windows security policies enabled.

Now when i try to push sophos to this Client i get the 3051 error which means the Server cannot create the SophosSAU<computername> or the password(policy) account for some reason.

Things i done to solve this problem:\

- Put policies off > Result is that everything works but i want policies enabled so this is not a solution for me.

The fault is that  the clients policy ask for a complex password  like 7 characters and a number for example

which causes Enterprise Console to give the 3051 error

My question is:

- Is there a possibilty to let the server (Enterprise Console) make a  local SophosSAU<computername> account  on the client with a complex password? and how to do that? or a workaround for this?

EDIT:

i found this topic:

http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/48910.html

My question is is this for server side or client side? and anything to configure after?

    Hey thanks for the reply's

    I got a few questions about this:

    -So make the account in the register before i protect it with Sophos Client?

    -Does the installer not make SophosSAU<computername>1 then instead of 0 which it makes normaly?

    -If the installer makes the account + password it does this only localy on the client? Not send anything back to the server ?

    -Manually creating the autoupdate account i should do on all clients then (or make image with this reg edit in it)?

    -Any script available to do this automatically?

    And about the update account vs. password policies.

    I couldnt find anything related to this but i guess more people should have expierenced this same problem cause its very common for a company to have a complex password in case of security.
