How to remove RMS for Standalone Sophos Anti-Virus?

Pamela Lee

I need to install standalone Sophos Anti-Virus (ie. not managed by the server) as well as running the installation silently (ie. requires no user inputs).  I am using the installer.sh with automatic option.  How do I actually disable RMS in this case?

    Hello Pamela Lee,

    as you mention installer.sh (guess you mean install.sh) I assume you're talking about a Linux server, aren't you? May I ask why you don't want to manage the machine(s)?

    If you install from the CID (or with a package built on a managed computer) RMS will be included. AFAIK for an unmanaged install you have to use the stand-alone installer. It seems (if I understand chapter 8 in the Free Edition Guide and the article linked hereafter correctly) you have to use Sophos as update source (please see the install.sh additional options article), if you select a CID on your management server it will upgrade to the managed version.

    Yes, install.sh for Linux from CID\S000\savlinux.  As RMS is part of the user input to interactive install, I cannot find a flag to do so by feeding in options for install.sh to do the same for the silent install.

    Hello Pamela Lee,

    RMS is part of the user input
    sorry, forgot that this is the case. My bad.

    deregisterRMS 
    don't have a Linux machine I want to try it on, it might be available only for migrating UNIX servers.

    I never used mkinstpkg on an unmanaged machine ... hm ... looking at the installOptions inside savinstpkg.tgz there's an --enableRMS=true ...
    I'm an idiot. Why didn't I suggest mkinstpkg? It has (almost) the same prompts as install.sh (including the one for RMS) and build a small "bootstrap" package.
