Is there a way to tell EM to protect more computers in bulk?

nduda78

Say you highlight 100 computers and protect them, it does then in batches of how many, like 5? Basically, the 100th computer on the list gets protected last and it can take a long time for that to happen. 


Maybe we are impatient, but deploying globally at once, we rely on some offices to complete first. I've been staring at a system with the orange hourglass for a couple hours now just waiting for it to get its place in queue.

Anyway to tell EM or the SUM to open up more install threads?

    Hi,

    I hope they help.

    With the group on bootstrap switch (http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/12570.html ) you can specify the group the machine goes into on initial install.  As the machine becomes managed (RMS installed) the management server will send down the policies for the given group.

    So this maybe used if the script has the logic in it to map the machine to a SEC group.  I guess it depends on what property of the machine you could use to map it.  E.g. Part of machine name, description, OU, OS, etc...  So for example a VBScript as an AD start-up script could have in it a "lookup" table of SEC groups within it with conditional cases to construct the command line needed.


    Just another idea.  

    Regards,
