Restoring Sophos45 on Sophos50 database

boeink_ID

hi, 

i recently  installing a fresh SEC 5.0 on my new server. 

the installation in success, with a new SOHPOS50 database of course (download also completed via the internet).

next phase:

import database from my pld server SOPHOS45.

i run restoredb.exe d:\sophos45.bak .\sophos sophos50 -->resulting the SEC now cannot start.

i've been walking around to find how to manage upgrading the database SOPHOS45 directly to 5.0 without affecting my old server.  so i tried to firstly :

- restore SOPHOS45.bak to mssqlserver,

-run upgradeDB.exe -debug -sourceVersion=45 , from ny new server, it said complete. but the database still empty.

i have also found an article said that the UpgradeDB.exe looked up to registry HKLM\software\sophos\ee\management tools\databaseconnectionMS

so i edited the key from SOPHOS50 to SOPHOS45, and SOPHOS47

niether works.

i need help.

thanks for any help.

    HI,

    To get SAV10, you just need to check that the subscription(s) that your new SUM is using is set to use SAV 10.  I would start by finding the subscriptions the new SUM has (right column of the "Subscriptions" tab of the SUM config).  E.g. Recommended.  Then on the left of the "Update Managers" view you can see/edit the subscription to ensure it contains SAV 10.

    Once the download has completed, you can check in the "View - Bootrap locations, exactly where it is.

    To protect the old SEC server you need to uninstall the Sophos components first.  You probably want to delete the old SUM form your SUM list view.

    I assume all the clients are pointing at the old server?  In which case:

    should help if you can't reprotect everything.  I would also recommend upgrading your new SEC 5.0 to SEC 5.1, the protect computers is more reliable in 5.1.
