Can you export the recovery keys from the old Sophos SafeGuard, we want to decommission the old server but just in case we need them on old coputers
Thank you, where do I run it?
It's a VBS script Dan - So copy and paste it into Notepad (or similar) and rename to "something.vbs"
How do I change the variables?
Copy and paste the whole script into Notepad. Search the text for "DestinationDirectoryRoot" or where it says "c:\SGNData\BLRecoveryKeys" in the script change this to suit your own variables - or create the same two folders I did in the same location on C Drive! Save the changes and then run the script on the server.
Running it as Admin and on the SafeGuard server? I've not used it in a few years but will have a look again and see it still works as expected
Thanks, as doesn't give me the option to run as admin
Open a command prompt as Admin Dan. I would imagine you're running 64 bit too, so don't forget to run the 64 bit version of cscript.
So - Admin command prompt "c:\windows\syswow64\cscript c:\sgndata\BLRecoveryKeys\keys.vbs" in your case/screenshot I think.
Just ran it again on the server Dan and all still works well! Good luck...
Works fine thanks, so just creates the folders of each computer name with the rk in
Yup! You could modify it to merge into one but it's probably best this way. Obviously now they're exported they're static keys so if the key rotates it'll be out of date (like a TPM/motherboard replacement etc...) You could always set this to run on a schedule to keep it more "current" but it works well for what it is. Don't forget to secure this somewhere - it's now open to people bypassing your control methods if they just need to open a plain text file and not log a helpdesk ticket etc.... :)
