Roaming Laptop Options?

Leddra2k

Hi all,

Just wondering what Sophos offer when it comes to business laptop users that roam from site to site and there laptop requires virus definitions update - is there a solution where the client is intelligent enough (example assigned an IP address from an office) that the client knows to go to the nearest parent server for its updates so its does pull virus definitions across the WAN?

For example - we will have a dedicated server/PC on small, medium and large sites that the clients could go to local to pull down the virus definitions to save WAN performance being reduced.

Cheers,

Anthony

    G'day!

    In an Active Directory environment, I've had sucess in using Microsoft DFS Namespaces to collectivly group shares across an organisation which contain the same content.  With these in place, I use Sophos Update Manager to keep the CIDs updated, and the clients will work out through the magic of DFS where to go to get their update data.

    Please, DO NOT use DFS Replication for CIDs as this is unsupported and will cause issues with the CIDs.

    Cheers

    When in doubt, Script it out.
