best way to deploy sophos to clients

Huwy

hi there,

I've recently replaced the SBS 2003 server in our company with SBS 2008. I've re-installed sophos enterprise console (v4.5.1) on the new SBS 2008 server. However none of the client PCs are registered. What's the best way to bring this online?

We also have another site. So I need to come up with a plan to manage/update these PCs also.

I can supply further info if it helps!

Cheers,

Huw

    you have 3 way:

    1) from the console you can run a discovery in the network (active directory, ip range or entire network)

    2) you can create a logon script in AD like this

    echo date /T c:>flag.txt

    if exist c:\flag.txt goto :end

    \\servername\sophosupdate\cids\sxxx\savscfxp\setup.exe -mng yes -crt R

    :end

    3) with psexec and a batch script with a for cicle to launch the string above

      thanks I have written a logon script. It seems to install ok but all of the computers are greyed out in enterprise console. Do I need to open some firewall ports of something to allow communication?

      Cheers again,

      Huw
