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

    The report should be under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sophos\Remote Management System\3\Router\NetworkReport as ReportData.xml if you can't find the link. But perhaps RMS install didn't get that far.

    SEC doesn't "get control", i.e. reinforce the updating policy, unless you either change it, move the client to another group or specify Comply with .... That is, directing the clients to a new update location should work.

    You probably didn't export/copy the (see this post) and RMS refuses to connect to the new server. If you uninstall SEC4, import the keys and install SEC4 again it should be possible to "move" the clients to the new server. But you should not change mrinit.conf on the client but configure the SAV9 CID (this is also in the mentioned post).  

    Beware - if you can't use Protect Computers from  either console and you cripple RMS your clients are stranded.
