Assigning Mac endpoint running 9.0.5 to defined management group

bruienne

Following this KB: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/119791.aspx I am not able to successfully have a newly added endpoint automatically be added to the desired group. Has anyone tried this yet and/or have any luck making it work? Our setup is pretty basic with a top level group being the desired target. Not sure if having a dash in the name has any negative effect but I'm targeting "\[SERVERNAME]\Test-Clients". No endpoints show up in that group automatically when installing using a modified 9.0.5 MPKG, as directed by aforementioned KB.

Attached is the grouppath.plist file, I sanitized the actual server name. Had to add .txt for the attachment to be accepted.

Thanks,

Pepijn.

    Having just upgraded SEC to 5.2.1 it seems like it needed one more reboot to come to its senses. Technical term, I know.

    This is now working as expected and I can see the client sending a request to the SEC management server for the group path that is configured in the plist. After about 15-20 seconds (on average) the client is placed in the group and its attached policies are soon after picked up by the client. One note about the auto update policy is that even though the settings came through correctly I had to reboot the client to have it actually use the settings instead of having the "Autoupdate settings not configured" message in the menu bar item and greying out the "Update Now" option. My work is done here.
