Excluding AD OU from Sophos + mass re-configuration of Sophos client Server location

khey

hi guys,

Is there a way to exclude a specific AD OU from being detected as unmanaged computers? the reason for this is we have about 800 linux vms on the network and we want to exclude them.

Also, what is the best way to re-configure Sophos Clients' primary and secondary update servers on all computers and servers? Group policy with changing the registry files or re-deploy sophos with SCCM. Is it possible to set secondary server to point to the internet instead of the update server?

Thank you for any assistance.

    hi Jak,

    that is exactly what I am looking for, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

    I've followed exactly your description,

    - created the 2 regkeys

    - obfuscated the password

    - set the security on the OU

    but the specific OU I'd like to exclude is still synchronizing.

    I restarted the Sophos services, rebooted the Sophos server and of course waited till AD replication was done, but still the same.

    The Sophos Management Host service runs under the user <domain>\sophosmanagement,

    the Sophos Management Service under LocalSystem.

    Is there anything I am missing or I can check why this OU is still synchronizing?

    Thanks
