Setting Sophos As Primary Update Location in Sophos Deployment Packager

Crayadder

Hello there,

I am trying to make an endpoint client install for offsite users that updates from Sophos and I am using the Sophos Deployment Packager. How do I point the package to update from Sophos? The location asks for a UNC and I have seen on the forums that it is not a good idea to put the full address to the sophos update server due to it changing from time to time.

What do I do?

Thanks

    Hello Cray,

    thanks for confirming this. Actually it is no surprise - in the SDP you use enter the location as in the client GUI, i.e. the complete path and not the "base" share as in SEC's policies (where SEC adds the CIDs\ subfolder, the subscription short tag - Snnn\ - and the product folder, e.g. SAVSCFXP\). Theoretically you could have a virtual host which publishes \\Sever\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S123\SAVSCFXP\ as its root, but that's rather unusual.
