Sophos Agent 64 bit Windows Server

test12234

Hello All,

I run sophos enterprise console and need to find out how to properly install the 64 bit version or "components" on some of my windows servers that say they have support for sophos 64. On my sophos server its running the sophos agent and has sophos files in both the program files (x86) and program files directories. I assume the 64 bit "components" are in the program files directory. That's great and all but all of my other 2008 R2 hosts only have sophos installed in the x86 directory, compelling me to believe their running the 32bit version. I create a sophos agent installer using the files from my CID, I see a 64 directory in there  but not sure if I should be creating a differnt installer. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

    Hello test12234,

    there's nothing wrong with or missing from your install. The endpoint (AV) components are 32bit, this is sufficient. Where 64bit components are required (e.g. drivers) they are installed. SEC has some 64bit components, thus you see Sophos also in the Program Files directory.

    Ok, cool. Thanks for the reply. You know anything about installing on windows server core os? I see its supported but I've scoured the documentation and can't find any info on the install.. when I try it, it fails.

    Also does that mean there is no 64 bit version of the sophos agent? ( I just need clarification)

    Thank You

    Hello test12234,

    I'm not sure what you mean by sophos agent? As said, the CID for the endpoint software contains all the necessary 64bit OS (WinXP vs. WinLH) and architecture (AMD64, IA64, i386) specific components, the Installer selects the applicable ones.

    No experience with Core, sorry.
