Sophos Enterprise Console "Reommended" change

ChristianN

Good morning,

we are using a Sophos Enterprice Console V5.1.0.1839 with no computers in the managment.

We only use this Console to download the Sophos Updates.

To Support Windows 8 we would like to change from "Windows 2000 and above" "10.0 Recommended" to "10.2 Recommended".

Does this have any effect to the older Sophos Clients in the network? Again, we haven't any computer under the computer managment tap and the Enterprice Console is not spezial configurated.

Thanks,

Christian

    Hello Christian,

    first some more explanation:

    Under distribution (Verteilung) I can change between Rec. 10 and 10.2

    The GUI is not very intuitive here - you don't change at all. This interface lets you define extra shares (in addition to the default \\server\SophosUpdate) for a specific subscription. The actual deployment is farther down, ...\CIDs\Snnn\<productfolder>, where <productfolder> is SAVSCFXP for the Windows version and Snnn is the subdirectory for a specific subscription. Recommended goes to S000, the number increases when subscriptions are added. View -> Bootstrap locations ... (Ansicht -> Bootstrap-Verzeichnisse) shows the suibscriptions and their locations. 

    if I install 10.2 on a client, and press update now, the software get's donwgrade to 10.0

    How do you install? Usually the update location is the UNC path where you installed from, thus the client shouldn't downgrade. If the client is managed by SEC it will receive the updating policy (and with it the update location) from the console when put into a group (other than Unassigned/Nicht zugewiesen).
