Deploying SAV 10 best practices

RogueViper

Wonder if anyone can share some insight in how they upgraded their clients to the latest version of Sophos. 

Currently I have upgraded the console to version 5, created a new subscription and share to SAV 10 recommended. Currently endpoints are running 9.5.6. 

I then placed my two desktops and my own server into a special test group. Spent a good 2 weeks using it and going about my daily business. Last week I started adding more XP desktops into the test group and so far today I'm up to 32 from a mixture of departments (total workstations and laptops ~250+)

I'm just trying to be really cautious before going along and upgrading all other desktops and then laptops. I'm going to leave servers until last and then move onto the other office site. 

Do you think I'm being too cautious? I'm just worried that il end up breaking something and causing widespread disruption .

    Thought I'd give an update on the progress of SAV 10. So far this has been successfully deployed to all desktops at the HQ site (~200). Plus laptops in a remote site (~20). However, I have stopped upgrading the rest of the HQ laptops (~80) because many of those laptops are very important users, some of who work remotely. 

    I'm not really sure if I just need to 'man-up' and make the change; but being my first IT job I'm scared of messing up. Other IT staff already joke about me breaking stuff; a part of me thinks I won't last very long in IT if I don't start taking responsbility and calculated risks to get the job 'done'.

    What would you do in my situation?
