Does sophos on domain detect reimaged machines and trigger a reinstall?

Is there a task or something that i can run on the sophos enterprise console to reinstall machines which a) do not have it installed or b) had it installed, were reimaged and now need it again.

I have looked through several documents, and it seems like the only solution involved running startup scripts (spew), which with everyone being a limited user, would fail anyways.

Some other antivirus providers have a like "install task" that you can set to run every hour or 8 hours or whatever and it will go and look on all the computers it knows about and install update the ones which does not have the program installed. Does  a similar functionality exist for sophos?

  • Hello givemecontrol,

    I dont really want to delay peoples logon

    do not forget - you do want the computer to be protected when it's about to be used. The install - provided that it is successful - is carried out only once, the check itself is inexpensive.

    For Synchronizing with Active Directory please see chapter 4.5 in the Console 5.2 Help
