Managing computers with SEC when Computers already have Sophos installed

Polaris

Hello,

My apologies if this has been covered before, as I haven't been able to find it if it has....

We have Sophos Endpoint Console 4.5.1.0, and while the majority of our computers are already being managed, we have just installed a large number of new computers where Sophos Endpoint Security & Control 9.7 was installed on them as part of the image.

Now I wish to manage those computers using SEC. I see them all as Unmanaged computers and I know I can "Protect" the computers when moving them into the appropriate group, but if I understand correctly, this process will reinstall Sophos on those computers when I tell SEC to "Protect" them. I am hoping there is a simpler process whereby I can just move them into their group and manage them, utilizing the existing installation to help minimize network traffic (of the management server pushing the app out again to reinstall it)

If this is possible, how do I do that?

Thanks!

    HI,

    If the endpoints are already managed, just in the unassigned and protected you can just move them to any SEC group and they will be sent polices of the new group. Cancel any deployment wizard that appears as you don't need to run the protect wizard again.

    If at the client end you wish to redirect them to another group, I think you might find this post helpful:

    /search?q= 24835

    Essentially: create the key with the SEC group path and restart the Sophos Agent service.
