Change update location based on subnet

mgomez

Is there a way to tell the client to look for a local update repository for updates?  We have many WAN sites, and most of them have a server we use as "downstream" servers for windows updates.  I'd like to use them for Sophos updates, I've installed Sophos Update Manager on one of the servers but how do I force the local computers on that subnet to use that update repository?  We don't have computers grouped by location in AD or in the system.  Is this something I can script?  If so what files do I need to change?

    Thanks for the info!  I could group computers by site, the issue is our current Active Directory structure isn't setup that way.  So it would be a manual process of creating each container in SEC and manually moving the computers into the containers?  Is that correct?.  I'm new to Sophos, I didn't set this up unfortunately.  I walked into this configuration.

    I suppose I could do some DNS hacks with a host file on each computer per site (login script), but that doesn't seem like a good idea.
