This solution is not acceptable

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.

  • There is nothing to centrally deploy files at this time.  Any thing we do takes forever to implement with our staff size.  In this past year we went from unmanaged switches to managed switches, from thick APs to Thin APs with a controller, from Sophos completely standalone to setting up console with update managers at each schools and putting in 350 computers, and from no AD servers to having the servers at each school waiting for licensing to be purchased.  But as you can see we can only do so much in the time we have and with the budget we have.  This is the most depressing thing to happen in a long time because it adds even more to our plate that is already full with school starting a month ago.  That is why it is so difficult to even imagine what is going to be required to fix this.
