running tasks (ie VBScript) prior to 'Protect Computers' rollout

IK

Hiya,

I've tried to search the board for this, but not found anything.

Is there a way to run tasks before having the Sophos installed? For instance, I need to disable Simple File Sharing on machines before roll out, and since the site is remote (400 miles away) i can't run past every client.

I have a VBS that would do this for me, but I am not sure where this is to be configured.

If it is just a matter of prepping the environment even before kicking off Protect Computers, that'b be fine too, but I like to bundle tasks and automate as much as i can (also for new PC's that come on board)

Thanks!

    Hi QC, your first post hit the nail on the head, unfortunately i will not go that route .. I guess it comes down to manual prep prior to roll out Sophos .. but i am sure the developers would be able to add an extra tab for Protect Computers to allow us Admins to include scripts for pre- and post- rollout  :robotwink:

    TODDH : Thanks for the suggestion, and yes, i could all script it, but i would like to keep it to the console, that would make mine and my successor's work easier (think support guides etc) .. for whoever will need to support this in the future. Currently we have full access to support the site, but who knows in a few years the support model will change.

    PS. the Simple File Sharing can be scripted via VBScript ..
