Reset/Change Sophos Update CIDs

janb

Is it possible to change the CID-path for Sophos Updates? Somehow I ended up with S000 and S065. Adding a new one only counts higher.

I don't know how this could happen. I definitely didn't add 65 different software subscriptions.

It's needed because I want to consolidate two different management servers into one while using the configuration of one as a base and need the update paths S001 and S002.

Is there a way to do that or do I have to start from scratch?

    Hello Christian,

    S065 is inactive - so please just delete it and when the Update Manager's configuration matches add a new subscription. As far as I can recall this should "reset" the numbering. Unfortunately this didn't work. I deleted the subscription and the folder for S065, after that I added a new subscription but the new CID folder is S069. It jumped to 69 because I tested a couple things before this.

    The other server [...] has no managed computers. So you want to "alias" these CIDs (BTW: are the computers updating over HTTP)? And they will stay unmanaged (I assume they don't have RMS installed)? Yes, something like that. The unmanaged installations need to be able to update from the new server without changing their configuration. They have a fixed adress like sophos.ourdomain.de which points them to the server with the CIDs S000 and S001. Yes they update over HTTP and will stay unmanaged and have no RMS installed.
