What can i do for systems not on the networks and also without internet?

I would suggest that you could take a copy of the distribution point from the server and copy it to the client, I guess using a USB stick.

You can then install (run setup.exe) from this local "share" without installing RMS (setup -mng no) https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/12570.

You can then update the computer by regularly copying the distribution point to the client that AutoUpdate is checking. 

If you do need to setup policy, you could create a specific CID on the server and use exportconfig and configcid to configure it with XML files.

Thanks for helping Jak.

Hi Jak,

What is to be entered in the share path and username\password? 

setup.exe -mng no -scf -crt R -updp \\myServer\Sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp\ -ouser SIhvF6vRtcGyG0mpJWdvIAc=  
 -opwd EIhvI6vRtcEyG0mpKWdvIAc= -s -ni

Well if you have a SEC server here for example

\\secserver\Sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp\

Then you would copy over S000 to the endpoint so you might have:

C:\Sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp\

You could then run:
setup.exe -mng no -scf -crt R -updp C:\Sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp -s -ni

Do you even need a username and password to update from the local computer?

I think a local path is fine for updating rather than having to share out say Sophos on the local computer to make:
\\127.0.0.1\sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp\

Then when you want to update the client, you would check it's not in a mid update, (is alupdate.exe running) and copy over:
\\secserver\Sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp\
to 
C:\Sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp\

On the next update check SAU should see the new files and update or you could force it if needed.

You night have to test this, I assume it all works.

Regards.

Hi Jak,

I have tested this at one clients place but since we have not copied the warehouse folder still it is showing as updated, i cant understand how.

Where should i copy and paste the warehouse folder ?

You're not copying the warehouse but the CID/distribution point.

Anywhere on the computer is fine really. C:\Sophos\ was just an example.

Hi Jak,

Sorry if i am not following it properly, i am listing out what am currently doing.

- Have a PC with no network connection ( no LAN or WAN)

-I copy the folder "\\secserver\Sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp\" from the server    to    "C:\Sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp\" on the PC.

- Run the command "setup.exe -mng no -scf -crt R -updp C:\Sophos\CIDs\S000\savscfxp -s -ni" and Sophos gets installed on the PC.

My question is that there should be a warehouse folder in the PC at the location C:\programdata\sophos\autoupdate\data\ folder which is missing.

Should i copy the warehouse folder from the "\\secserver\warehouse" to the above location ?

Thanks for giving time to my query.

The endpoint doesn't have a warehouse in this scenario.  SUM downloads a warehouse, from the warehouse the files are decoded into the CIDs/Distribution points.

You are copying over the CIDs/Distribution to the client, not the warehouse.  AutoUpdate will pull the files down from the local computer and fill a local cache which it will install the products from.

If you were putting a SUM on an air-gapped/isolated computer, you would move the Warehouse as SUM needs a warehouse. Detailed here: https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/64899 

Great. I just tested this with EICAR and it is blocking it. 

Thanks for your help !
