Unmanaged Endpoint installation

 We have a very small network ( 5 endpoints) where the endpoint security is not managed  through a console.

Can anybody tell me if it is possible to export the settings from one PC to use as a template to import to the other PC's ?

  • Hello RockyC,

    which settings are you interested in? Are these five are all your endpoints and you don't (intend to) have a management server at all? Do you want to "import" the settings on initial install or as  poor man's management :smileywink:. You might already guess  that there is no such feature but it is possible to copy some of the settings - that's why I'm asking for details.

  • Hi Christian,

    Thanks for your reply. I am actually trialing the package at the minute  - but you are correct in that we do not have a management server. I am thinking of being able to replicate settings across the 5 endpoints on installation.without having to go through each one seperately. ( On reflection it may be that the default settings are near enough OK)

    I am thinking of settings such as update frequency, the scheduled scan settings , priority level on scans  and also cleanup options . My current AV setup ( AVG business) allows me to export a settings file having set up one PC and this can then be imported to the others.

    Yes I would also be thinking of "poor mans" management in the event of wanting to make changes later. It would be nice to have  a management server but it is not an option right now. I like the Sophos setup ( the endpoint agent is very straightforward) - although maybe Sophos is more targeted / suitable for bigger companies.

  • Hello RockyC,

    the defaults should do, and if there is a setting you have to change - well, the export/import is not significantly less work.
    Dunno about the pricing of the Cloud version compared to your current license, if you are in North America it might be an alternative http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/cloud.aspx.
