Hi, I'm new here and my apologies if the answer has already been posted.
We've got a customer who called in said that they would like to create a second repository so that their employees working from home can install the Sophos Security Software on their home computers themselves.
After reading through http://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/sec_52_asgeng.pdf ..in section 17 - Protecting standalone computers it states:
Some computers are never on the network and are not easy to access, for example computers that staff use at home. To protect these computers, you ask each user to install Sophos security software individually using a “standalone” installer. The software is then kept up to date via the internet.
There are two possible approaches:
■ The user can download the software from www.sophos.com/en-us/support/downloads/standalone-installers/esc-for-windows-2000-up.aspx. They install the software and configure it to update from Sophos.
■ You can republish the software and all subsequent updates on your own website. The user downloads the software from that website, installs it, and configures it to update from that website. For information on how to republish Sophos updates on your own website, go to www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/38238.aspx.
Is this the information I should provide to the customer?
I forgot to ask them if they are expecting those clients to show up in their console and be managed there but I can ask them.
Thanks!
Joe
