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.

    """Do you have a standardized naming convention for the machines and a full list of them?  Does the admin account have the same password on all the standalone machines?  These are important in writing a batch or vbs file...

    I think Sophos needs to release a versatile fix for this issue.  It will sink them if it hasn't already.  We are going to be looking at other options...""""

    No to standardized naming convention.  I can look in DHCP of each School and see names but most don't have matching names.  Admin account is not the same on all machines.  Each User is the Administrator of their machines.  This is worse then any virus infection(scribble included) I have ever seen.
