Scripted Install

stokie_steve

Hello

I am trying to do a scripted install of the Sophos Endpoint Security and Control Client on a windows XP machine. From what I can see the install comes in two parts; The Sophos Antivirus software and the Sophos Auto Updater software. I can install the Sophos Anti-Virus software using MSIEXEC. But the Auto-Update software requires credentials so that it can update from the web. I can not enter these credentials when installing the software silently.

Can anybody shed any light on this?

Regards

Steve

    Hi Steve,

    Apologies, I meant to state this in my original post but obviously got sidetracked with the switches. The switches/scripted installation of Sophos Anti-Virus is not supported with the standalone client. In order to make use of these switches you will need to use the installation downloaded and maintained by your copy of EmLibrary or Sophos Update Manager.

    The switches you may find of use are:

    -updp <path>      Update address

    -user                     Account required for accessing update location

    -pwd                     Password

    If you try the '/?' switch against the setup.exe in the central installation directory then this should display the full list for you.

    Best regards,

    Luke
