This solution is not acceptable

Hudson

I work in a School District that is extremely understaffed.  We have 3000+ computers and 1 person to work on tech problems and one person to manage the network.  Up until this year we ran Sophos as standalone on all machines but setup the console and have managed to get 350 machines in the console.  That still leaves 2700+ computers running Sophos stand alone.  This screw up has affected the large majority of our computers and you expect us to some how go out and touch every one of these machines?  That would take our department probably a year to do.  I need to know the best ideas of what can be done to fix this.  We can not be without updated antivirus for long.  I need suggestions quick because I have people to answer to.

    Which solution is unacceptable?

    If you are referring to the one I posted, then don't use it.  I do not work for Sophos.  I posted it because it was a workaround that works, albeit a little time intensive.  You could use C$ shares and a PXE server/PXE boot to push the folder out to your clients, then Group Policy to reinstall.

    You don't have AD in a network of 3000 computers?  What is your domain running on?
