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!

    Thanks for all your help jak!

    As soon as I can get my hands on a couple of the PCs in question which are physically located at another branch, I can review the installation and the registry settings and devise a strategy, hopefully yours if successful, and then push it out to the rest of the PCs at the branch.  I don't want to interrupt the workers, and since we have some extra units there that are currently not in use/not physically installed anywhere/still in the box,  bringing a couple back to head office is no big deal.
