Upgrade 7 -> 9 by replacing two files

petjez

Hi,

we're upgrading our Sophos installations on 2500 PC's from version 7 to version 9. I found out when i push and replace two files to the PC's the upgrade process goes automaticly. We have a very segmented network so our Enterprise Console is not able to find all the machines.

I've replaced: C:\Program Files\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Config\iconn.cfg and

C:\Program Files\Sophos\Remote Management System\mrinit.conf

The two files will redirect the Sophos client to a new server.

So in our test environment the PC's are upgraded to version 9 without any problem. But the PC's are not registered in the new version of the Enterprise Console. Is there a way to let the PC's register themselves to the Enterprise Console? Is there a commandline tool?

Regards,

Patrick

    Hello Patrick,

    iconn.cfg indeed directs the clients to the new update location and that's basically what you'd do assigning a new updating policy using SEC.

    Why do you also push out mrinit.conf? Usually the mrinit.conf from the CID should be picked up and used. Take a look at the Sophos Network Communications Report on a client. Does it report any problems?  And is the parent address pointing to the correct server?
