Install new Server with Enterprise Console and manage all preview Endpoints

FFN

Hi

I'd like to install the Sophos Enterprise Console 5.2 on a new VM. After the new clean installation with local DB I'd like to configure the console with new policies (new exclusions etc.). I don't like to move all the old stuff like described in this guide:

http://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/nonindexed/sec_50_mgeng.pdf

Because then I will have all the old sins ;) in my new clean installation.

So far so easy. But now my question: Is it possible to easy add all the endpoints (more then 400) previously managed by my old enterprise console into the new installed enterprise console? And how?

I tried it the way described in the guide (link above), by just right click "protect". But this didn't work.

    Yes everything works fine with the old enterprise console. But I'd like to turn this server off and install the sophos management on a new windows 2012 server. And if I have to install everything new anyway I'd like to start from zero. So I will not have any old stuff, missconfigurations, dead policies etc. But I'm not willing to reinstall sophos on every endpoint again.

    So I'm asking if I can add all the old endpoints to the new enterprise console on the new 2012 server?

    The way described in the guide (right click to a folder or endpoint and choose "protect computer") didn't work. 

    The selected endpoint stayed a while in the state of installation (yellwo houreglass), then after several minutes (felt very a very long time) I got an error.

    I can't tell you the correct error anymore because I already reinstalling the Win 2012 VM.

    I'm downloading the CIDs to a DFS Share. This won't change with the new 2012 server. So I assumed all endbpoints wil appear as "managed" (green Icon) in the new console automatically.
