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 Jan,

    ok, this is unsupported and don't divulge it was me who told you: The registry DWORD value SubscriptionShortTagCounter under HKLM\Software[\Wow6432Node]\Sophos\EE\Management Tools holds the number for the next CID. 

    HTTP is usually not a big problem. Anyway I want to mention that to a certain extent you can modify the clients' policies - please see Using ConfigCID.exe to implement XML configuration file changes and indicated related articles. BTW - I have not checked how AutoUpdate (version 2.9.0 and above) reacts when seeing a "foreign" CID (i.e. one with a cac.pem different from the one it previously updated from). You might want to test this first.
