Offline Update of Endpoint Security and Control 10.3.1 (standalone XP-PC)

PMi

Hi All,

I have a licenced installation-version of Endpoint Security and Control 10.3.1 with the AV-Software:

Detection Engine = 3.50.1  / Detection Data = 4.98G / HIPS-Rules = 10.3.33.1 / HIPS Config = 1.0.65.1

My plan is to update a standalone-XP-PC by copying the latest IDE-Files (downloaded from the Sophos-download-page)

into the \Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\ program folder and restart the service.

Q1.) At the Sophos-download-page I found only the last 3 months IDE-updates available.

Can I use these "new" downloaded IDE-files (for example  "513_ides") even with an older Sophos-Version and  is it working properly?

Q2.) Additionally I have tried to use one of my standalone-PC's as an update-machine by connecting it to the internet and start a normal update. Then I planned to transfer the downloaded IDE-Files to my other standalone-PC's via USB-stick. Unfortunately it was then immediately updating to a higher Sophos-Version. (10.3.13.276 / Det.Eng. 3.58.3 / DetData 5.15).

So can I use these online updated IDE-files too or is there any matching-problem due to  the installed older Sophos-Version at the standalone-PC's?

Thank you for any help regarding my topic.

Pete

    Hello Pete,

    you've probably a good reason to run XP (not kidding you) but why do you insist on the pretty outdated SAVXP version?

    As the IDEs are regularly consolidated (that's the Detection Data stuff) quite a lot will be missing (unless you've kept all issued since 4.98 and this should be some 3000, not ideal for performance too). Furthermore newer ones might when used by an outdated engine not be as effective as they could be.

    The current version works fine with XP (support for SP3 will not be retired before December 31st 2016), so you should upgrade.
