install when it comes online

hi,

i add 50 computers, most of them are offline so i get after some seconds an error. why do the sophos enterprise console dont try to install it when the client comes online? i have to make right click and "protect" again and again until all clients are installed.

thx!

Hi,
As deployment from SEC just runs setup.exe from the deployment CID with a few switches (detailed here: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/12570.aspx) there are plenty of way to deploy outside of using SEC.
I always suggest the easiest way is to deploy using SEC to a sample client whilst watching the scheduled tasks on the target client. As soon as the Sophos install task is created, look at the properties to see the switches used. This will give you an obfuscated username and password without having to use the obfuscationutil tool.
If you have AD, I would suggest an AD startup-script. http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/13090.aspx has some general steps. This will ensure machines without SAV will get installed the next time they startup.
Regards,
Jak
