Install Sophos Endpoint Software with Powershell

Hello Nightwing2099,

assuming you are talking about the on-premise SESC. Basically you could run setup.exe with the appropriate switches from the CID. Please note that setup.exe performs some initialization and then installs AutoUpdate which subsequently carries out the actual installation.
If you can't access the CID via UNC an alternative method is to create a self-extracting package with the Deployment Packager.

Do you have any examples in Powershell

Hello Nightwing2099,

I'm afraid, no, as I assume that MobileIron does more than just run a script that calls a command.

Here is a PowerShell script I wrote for installing Intercept X through our central deployment tool (not Sophos Central Dashboard) But it should work locally as well if you want to install on an individual machine

For "$source = "Insert your Endpoint link from Sopho central dashboard for the client - right-click to get link location and copy"

It should be an Amazon WebServices link and it is unique for your client as it has config embedded that links to your central dashboard.
