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.

    Going to be tough one to crack hudson. If you've got access to a network share somewhere that all the machines could access then something like:

    net stop "Sophos Anti-Virus"

    xcopy \\server\sharenam\folderwithfiles\*.* "%programfiles%\sophos\autoupdate /y

    net start "Sophos Autoupdate Service"

    "%programfiles%\sophos\autoupdate\almon.exe"

    You'll need the missing deleted files which from memory are:

    almon.exe

    alupdate.exe

    cidsync.dll

    iconfig.ppi

    You can get these from a working machine. WIthout a network share, scripting this is going to be real tough!

    Start with the original script though and hopefully you'll crack a lot straight away then you can concentrate on the fewer quantity left.

    If sophos support are listening in, really they should chime in here and help out. No good burying your head in the sand, these are real people with real problems!
