Sophos Central Endpoint: Installer command line options for Windows and Mac full installer

RyanHosiassohn

Hey Guys, 

 

Is there anyway to install the full package from one machine onto multiple machines ? 

I came accross this article : 

https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/127045

 

So in short, We have over 2000 Hosts I would like to deploy the installation to. The batch scripts have never worked for me and always end up getting errors. 

Can we have a full installation on one host and do a batch command line script as mentioned above and then itll grab it from there ? 

 

I did try but perhaps Im doing it incorrectly with the commands. 

 

Thanks 

Ryan

    Hi Ryan,

    Do you know what errors come up as part of the batch script?  The one in KB120611 works for me as long as it is pushed as a start-up script rather than log-on script as log-on may not have enough permissions.
    If you want to copy the installation files from an existing installation to be used in other installs, include the '--localinstallsource=<"path-to-install-source">' switch to specify the installation files to use.  This command is from the KB you originally posted.  The installation files will need to be copied to a file share where users will have read access to.

    The installation files are found in:
    %ProgramData%\Sophos\AutoUpdate\data\Warehouse
    %ProgramData%\Sophos\UpdateCache\www\warehouse
