Deployment

SteveLaw

Hi,

We have Sophos Complete Security Suite which I am currently testing and exploring.  I currently have various questions relating to deploying the Anti-virus and Encryption software to the clients.    We have a Windows Active Directory domain.

Installation of "security software" automatically using synchronization in the Enterprise Console appears to work for the most part (see second issue below) however there are a couple of issues that I'm hoping someone may be able to help with.

The "security software" in the Synchronization properties does not include Encryption Software.  As far as I can see there is no way to automatically deploy this, have I missed something?  Has anyone figured out a way to do this?  Obviously automatic installation is the best way to ensure full coverage and is quite important.

Also, it seems that if I re-add a computer to the domain with the same name (after a reinstallation of Windows) the securtiy software does not automatically install.  Is this the correct behaviour?  Is there a way to resolve this?

Many thanks.

    Thanks for replying Christian.

    It's Sophos SafeGuard Client 5.61 yes (I assume that matches what you thought?).  That's very interesting to note about the development and compatibility.   We are currently Windows 7 only but will be considering upgrading in the not too distant future.  What would be the logical next encryption product?

    I did consider putting the software into our image (we use a windows image deployed from WDS).  It was next on my list to investigate.  How would the Sophos clients cope with being syspreped and distributed this way? How would the Enterprise Console handle it?
