SafeGuard server install on server 2022 asp 4.8

Hello Neil,

Thank you for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum.

What may help in the initial installation process is to use the "SGN Install Advisor" as this will cover many of the prerequisites and requirements for the installation to behave as expected. 

Regarding the error you are seeing, I recommend enabling ASP.NET, .NET Extensibility,SAPI Extensions, and SAPI Filters.

Go into Server Manager > Add Roles and Features > Installation Type > Server Selection > Server roles > Expand Web Server > Expand Application Development > Enable ASP.NET 4.5.
This will automatically enable ISAPI Extensions, ISAPI Filters, and .NET Extensibility 4.5, which are also required

Let me know if this works for you. 

Server 2022 and .NET 4.8 did not work.

Fired up a new VM, Server 2019 and .NET 4.7, worked first time.

My opinion Server 2022 and .NET 4.8 may be untested.

I've been deploying all Sophos products since 2010.

Hi Tamna,

There is no way to push the product from the Management Centre.

You need to deploy the required packages with whatever is your tool/method of choice.

You can find a guide on deploying via Active Directory GPO here, Installing the encryption software centrally through Active Directory (sophos.com)
