Migrate from End Point and Server Protection to Intercept X Advanced

Ana Matos

Hi.

I'm new to Sophos but it has been used in the company I work for for a few years now. I'm looking at the requirements to migrate from Endpoint and Server Protection for virtualized environments managed by Enterprise Console due to EOL to Intercept X managed by Sophos Central. I've found information about migrating from Enterprise Console to Sophos Central but I haven't found much about the differences between End Point & Server Protection VS Intercept X. Is there documentation for the installation and set-up of Intercept X?

The VMs on which we have server protection are not connected to the internet, but the VM where Enterprise Console is installed is connected to the internet. Would that arrangement work for Sophos Central managing Intercept X in VMs not connected to internet? Also, is licensing done in the same way for Intercept X as it is done for End Point and Server Protection? Do I need a separate license for Sophos Central?

    Hi Ana,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum.

    When inspecting both the way the migration tool operates and how the SVE Protected Guests update, it does not look like the SCMT will work for these devices.

    The SCMT populates the updating directory of the protected endpoints/servers with new files, which it will run on the next update cycle. When the update occurs, the package to register and install Sophos Central components is run.

    The Guest Agent being very lightweight, lacks some of the components necessary for this process to take place on its own.

    In short, you will need to uninstall the SVE Guest Agent first, then run the installer package for Intercept X. You can also script this via an AD Startup script. The following article may be of some assistance with this.
