Best practice distribution model for mixed Windows / Mac / UNIX environment

KnollJRH

Are there any Knowledgebase articles or whitepapers about setting up distribution in a mixed environment?

I have the articles on WebCID, but am not sure this is a preferred method for us. Currently, I have Windows (2000, XP, 7) and Mac (PowerPC running OSX) updating from my SophosUpdate share on my Windows Server, but my one deployed UNIX client (more to come when I straighten this out) complains that it cannot find server.inf.

Thanks in advance!
John

    Christian,

    This is a new installation, running SAV 9.5 on Windows mostly, but have some SAV on UNIX (SunOS for x86, 1 client thus far) and Mac (1 client thus far). Trying to use the SophosUpdate share on Windows SEC 4.5 server (Windows 2008 R2).

    So far, the Mac client updates from the share successfully, but the UNIX client complains about a server.inf file.

    Snippet from UNIX client:

    # ./savupdate --verbose=5

    Updating from \\<servername>\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\EESAVUNIX\SUNOS_10_X86
    Reading \\<servername>\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\EESAVUNIX\SUNOS_10_X86/server.inf
    Failed to download '\\<servername>\SophosUpdate\CIDs\S000\EESAVUNIX\SUNOS_10_X86/server.inf': invalid authentication. Please check PrimaryUpdateUsername and PrimaryUpdatePassword.
    Failed to replicate from all update sources

    I am confident that the correct user id and password are being used (<domain>\SophosUpdateMgr and associated password)
