Company split up - Migrate Sophos to new domain

Vincent-Linde

Hi, 

We have a company split up. We have to rebuild our infrastructure for the new company. The original company uses Sophos 5 and 6. There are 1000+ workstations with Sophos encryption installed. 

I have two questions: Is it possible to install and migrate sophos console server in a new domain?

Is it possible to migrate the workstations to a new domain and keep the sophos working (we have single sign on enabled)

Please help. 

Kind regards Vincent

    Hello Vincent,

    the SafeGuard board is better suited for questions about SGE. 

    I can imagine that technically a split could be achieved by migrating the server (as in How to migrate SafeGuard Enterprise components to a new computer) and then just dropping the clients from the other side.

    BUT: As the same certificates are used the clients will effectively remain in the same company. Then there's the question of splitting and transferring the licenses (unless you "take all SGE with you"). Furthermore, as you probably will create a new domain everything related to security (certificates, credentials, ...) will have to be changed. Thus if you don't clone-and-split the domain things will break.

    As far as SGE is concerned I guess you better uninstall/decrypt before moving the clients. This is just my personal view though, I have no experience with SGE (but with domain splits). Maybe you get a more useful reply on the SafeGuard board - and it's probably best to take this to Support or your reseller.
