Enterprise Console on 2 Servers

bold_defender

Hi there,

I have recently updated Enterprise Console to version 4.5. I Would  ideally like to have 2 Servers running Enterprise Console so if 1 of my servers went down that all the clients would keep being updated with any new IDE's. Is it possible to have 2 Servers running together for redundacy.

Thanks

    HI,

    It becomes more complicated if you want to maintain management via SEC, however if you wish to just maintain updating for the clients, you should be able to install and additional SUM on the network that updates from Sophos rather than the parent.  

    Have the additional SUM subscribe to all the same subscriptions and publish the distribution points.  Then in the policy of AutoUpdate you would configure your primary to be the main SUM and the secondary to be the other SUM (well the shares they maintain wherever they might be).

    That being said, if you currently have the secondary location configured to Sophos you would loose that option as you can only define 2 update sources on the endpoint, short of DNS tricks depending on location.  That being said, if the clients do update from Sophos as the secondary today.  If the primary location does go down, the clients would switch to using Sophos anyway and keep getting updates.
