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,

    for the benefit of other readers I'll continue in English and also give a summary of your response:

    The CIDs are published by IIS which provides also the installation packages. Our clients are not managed.

    I assume I have to add a virtual directory for 10.2 linking to S009?

    Edit: Browsing IIS I saw that I just have to enter http://savau1.UNIURL.de/CIDs/S009/SAVSCFXP/ as update location to get the correct updates

    Reminds me of the pre-SEC times :smileywink:.

    Die Software zum installieren - did you create a package or do you provide the stand-alone installers? Anyway, it's much clearer now what you do - I was mislead at first, thought you provide a Warehouse for downstream SECs/SUMs. If it is as you described it in this post, just changing the Recommended subscription to 10.2 will indeed make the clients update to 10.2. You probably don't want to require all clients to update their primary location.

    You should do some planning how to deal with version changes in the future and what to do with the second subscription. Apart from this I recommend considering at least some kind of management - admittedly it has some cons in a "free" university environment but in the long run it's IMO the better alternative.
