Changing Update Manager Server

BeTheHopeful

Is there a way, outside of the Enterprise Console, to control what Update Manger server a client uses after the agent is installed (i.e. group policy)?

We apply our group policies at the site level using AD Site and Services, and our OU structure is not configured based upon sites; so creating groups in the SEC would be a very difficult task for over 15,000+ clients.

Thanks,

Tim

    Hello Tim,

    trying to understand your question: You (want to? - are you in the planning phase or have you already deployed Sophos?) all 15,000+ clients from one SEC. You have additional SUMs for the sites? And you want the clients to update from their "nearest" SUM? Or are you talking about several management servers?

    Anyway - the updating policy is only one type of policy. I don't think you can manage that many clients without some group structure - and running practically unmanaged is not a good idea.

    If you give us some more details about your (planned) setup it'd be easier to suggest something. BTW: yes, you could distribute an updating policy using GPOs (although it's not the recommended way :smileywink:).
