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 jak,

    Holy Moley! If this was the more succinct version.... I shudder to think of the original!   :smileylol:

    Setup.exe was run with the switch "-mng yes", which is the default, I.e. to install the RMS component.

    Actually, setup was more than likely just run by double clicking the file and default settings applied.

    As to the rest of your response, I'm going to have to try to get my hands on one of the new PCs to review the registry keys you mention and the file paths and determine where to go from there.

    I have my work cut out for me!!!

    Thanks again!
