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

givemecontrol

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?

    Ah ok I found it now. For anyone else looking its called "Synchronize with Active Directory", which you get to by right clicking the group or OU in sophos endpoint console and going to "Synchronize with Active Directory". In that wizard, there is an option to auto install protection, which i assume auto installs when a computer is joined to that ou.

    as you say above this does not work for reimaged computers, but hopefully the startup script should cover that.

    thanks i think that solves everything.
