Setting up home users: Exporting the SCF Home Use policy produces an Invalid XML file

LinusCaldwell

Hi,

I'm following the instructions outlined in this knowledgebase article to create a package for home use.

When I run the command on Step 12 for exporting the SCF policy (e.g. "%Program Files%\Sophos\Enterprise Console\exportconfig.exe" -type SCF -policy “SCFHomeUse” -output C:\HomeUse\scfcidconf.xml), the resulting XML file that is generated is invalid.

This results in the policy not applying when the Sophos client is installed.

If I open the XML file with IE to test I get the following message:

An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource

We are using Sophos Console and client version 9.5

    Hello LinusCaldwell,

    I have not built an installer package including SCF. As you might have noticed there exist several articles for creating an installer suggesting different methods. The (I assume) latest for SAV9.0/9.5 uses two (partial) copies of the CID, one for the initial install of AutoUpdate (with the crt) and another (with the configuration files) for the product install. Although it uses slightly more space (and the firewall policy is not an XML file - see below) you should give it a try.

    As far as I know the SCF policy is not exported as XML file. Exportconfig defaults to using the .conf extension and if you look at configcid's output it seraches for scfcidconfig.conf so I think this is the correct name to use.
