We have used Sophos for a long time and as a result our Windows AD is littered with old Sophos users and groups that are no longer used. In the past we used Sophos SAV, Enterprise Library, Puremessage and SQL DB.
Currently we use Sophos Central, Endpoint X, Firewall XG, Central Mail and STAS.
Please inform me which Sophos AD accounts and groups are still required and which Sophos users and groups can be removed of the old Sophos products.
TIA,
Fred
Hello, Fred_B,
We appreciate your reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum.
So yes, you can delete the old Sophos users and groups that are no longer used. There’s no issue with that.
The old SEC installers create a local AutoUpdate account using the naming convention 'SophosSAU<machine-name>aaa' instead of 'SophosSAU<machine-name>0.'
The example for your reference if that helps you:
Sophos NAC
SophosSAU"DC name" aaa
SophosSAU"DC name" aab
SophosSAU"DC name" aac
Sophosupdatemgr1
Sophosupdatemgr2
SophosDBmgr
Let me know if you need any further help:
Regards,
Hello Fred_B
Yes, you can delete these. These groups and users are no longer needed for Sophos Central.
