Configuring SophosUpdateManager without Internet Access

PeterT

Can anyone advise me, or point me in the direction of a white paper, that describes how to update the Sophos Update Manager on a Network which is not connected to the Internet ?

So far I have managed to install the Sophos Enterprise Console 4.5.1, installed the Sophos database, and have successfully searched for other computers on the Network by importing from Active Directory.

Now I want to protect these PCs / Laptops, but at the moment there is nothing in my SUM because when I run the Download Security Software wizard I can not connect to the Sophos website.  (i.e. the machine running Sophos EndPoint Security and Control is not on the Internet).

What do I do next ?

    I have now made some progress with configuring SophosUpdateManager but still have some problems.

    In a nutshell I seem to have installed the AutoUpdate application but not Anti-Virus.

    Following the instructions in the "Installing and Configuring an Air Gap using Enterprise Console" article I found a colleague with an Internet machine who installed Sophos Endpoint Security and Control and downloaded the Applications from the Sophos website. Then he burnt the "Warehouse" folder onto a CD. There was also a folder called CIDs.

    On my non-internet Windows 2003 Server I copied "Warehouse" and "CIDs" into the "SophosUpdate" share which is at "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sophos\Update Manager\Update Manager".

    Following instructions in the white paper I have also created a share called "SophosUpdateManager" on my Desktop. I copied the "Warehouse" in here as well.

    Using the Enterprise Console I selected Update Manager and on the Sources tab I set the primary source to be the "SophosUpdateManager" folder.

    Previous to all this I had succesfully identified the Client (Windows XP) PCs in my network (i.e. linked in with Active Directory). So I was now ready to do two things :

    1. Protect my client PCs.

    2. Install Sophos Anti-Virus application on the W2003 Server (up to now I had only installed the Enterprise Console)

    Protecting my PCs installed the Sophos Auto Update service on the Clients but the Sophos shield is grey with a red cross and there is no sign of the Sophos AntiVirus service.

    On the W2003 Server I ran the "setup.exe" from the CIDs folder. This installed Sophos AutoUpdate but the Sophos Anti-Virus application failed.

    The error message in the Enterprise Console said

    Code 0000006b Download of SAVXP failed from server C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sophos\Update Manager\Update Manager\CIDs\S000\SAVSCFXP\

    Apologies for the long-winded post.

    Can anyone help ?
